I was out and about today and when I was ready to start back home, I pulled around the parking lot to find a starbucks and I pulled up in front and watched and smelled and thought about wanting a cigarette - damn, I pulled out of the parking lot so fast I almost took wings! I thought about my last post about cutting my coffee consumption since I quit smoking...........as much as I'd love a Venti Caramel Macchiato, extra caramel with 2 raw sugars, I don't want to smoke and it will be awhile until I can enjoy one without the association.
Otherwise I'm doing great still and I'm so proud of this personal accomplishment, I quit smoking almost 4 months ago!! Yipppeeee!!!!!

It's amazing how powerful some associations are. Just so glad you are doing so well and are able to walk (or drive) away when the temptation comes. Good for you, MamaFlo!
I think I may be the only person out there who started drinking coffee when they stopped smoking. I never cared for it before and now it gets me through the harder tuggings.
Yikes, I'm a freak!!
Caffeine and cigarettes were nirvana for me (once upon a time).
The time will come that you can enjoy that Macchiato without worry. Congrats on almost four months and keep up the good work.
Where or where is MamaFlo hiding? Come out, come out, wherever you are...LoL.
