Day 2

A man walks into a bar with his dog that has no legs. The bartender feeling sorry for the dog asks the man what the dog’s name is. The man tells the bartender the dog’s name is Cigarette. The bartender inquires why the dog is named Cigarette and the man replies that every night he has to take the dog out for a ‘drag’.

Today these are things that can make it easier not to smoke.
• Plan your time so there are few moments or situations when you are bored.
• Buy a magazine or book to assist with those moments (how about Suduko?)
• Take a 20 minute walk.
• Make plans to be with other people that don’t smoke.
• Drink lots of water.
• Eat an apple or two today when cravings hit.
• Avoid a regular smoking routine.

You may have already started some of these changes. If so, keep them up. If not, try to do something different. One of the main reasons to switch daily patterns is to keep your mind busy with things other than smoking.

This is day two and it brings you closer to your goal. Don’t forget to reward yourself at the end of the day. Treat yourself well.

Thought for the day:

“Promises to ourselves will always materialize if we work for them.”

    College Men Unimpressed by Female Binge Drinkers

    March 11, 2009

    Some college women may drink excessively to gain the attention of men, but new research from Loyola Marymount University suggests that drunk women are not as attractive to men as women believe.

    Science Daily reported March 11 that the majority (71 percent) of women surveyed overestimated — by an average of one-and-a-half drinks — the number of alcohol beverages men wanted their female friends, dates, or girlfriends to drink.
