    Sounds like a good idea to break up habit and make myself more aware.
    HA! I've done Chantix 3 times over the years and I don't recall but WWW told me some hilarious stuff I did.

    Me too. The urge would have to be super strong to have something like that controlling you to spend that much every day. But I feel the same about coffee. Whatever happened to a dime a cup? :bug:

    If you want french mustard you might want Maille which is now made in the moutarderie in Dijon, France where Maurice Grey and Auguste Poupon first started bottling Grey-Poupon moutarde from mustard seeds and wine grapes from the local Burgundy region . Grey Poupon is made upstate New York by Kraft or Nabisco these days.

    Of course. That's why there's a big old "Kraft"logo on the jar. When I want Dijon, I go with stuff actually made in France.;).

    Those patches gave me incredibly vivid dreams back when i tried quitting. That was the only good thing about trying to quit at the time!

    Good for Ms. Buzzsaw. Its not easy.

    At one time my 2 best friends smoked. I use to give them hell all the time. It made me understand how strong an addiction is. They didn't want to smoke but felt compelled. My one friend lost his dad to throat cancer when he was only 8 (not from smoking), so he already is at risk genetically. Anyway, I remember we were drinking a little and I got on my roll about them slowly setting themselves up for health issues and I couldn't stand by and just watch it happen without saying something because I loved them blah, blah, blah. Finally they said we'll really try to quit.
    One quit cold turkey. The other tried the patch and he said it gave him crazy nightmares that he finally had to stop wearing it. He quit cold turkey when his dad had a mild heart attack. I will say they were on edge a for a little bit, but when they got too bad we just :cheers::drunk::coldone:.

    Edit, just saw tree killer comment about the dreams.

    Yeah, trying to quit doesn't work. You have to just do it. Sounds simple but anyone who has denied their nicotine addicted body's craving for the stuff knows how hard it is to deny the addiction. It does take a certain degree of fortitude to keep telling yourself - NO.

    For my first GTG, not knowing anyone, I opted to sleep in my van. Why? Because I could lock myself in. :yes:
