   Hi Ocean,
   
   Hah! Thanks for reminding me. I did not include the chocolate bars (my guilty pleasures) that I buy when I get the cigarettes.

   Hi Ocean,
   
   Hmmm. You are quite right. My guilty pleasure was buying a chocolate bar with the pack of smokes. They've been going up in price too.

   W is for walking.  Instead of sitting around thinking about your cravings, get out and do some walking to take your mind off of it.
   
   X is for, Xtraordinary efforts to keep the quit lead to Xtraordinary gains!  Xtra energy, Xtra vitality, and Xtra days of life.  How Xciting!!!
   
   Okay, I cheated a little bit, but who cares?  LOL  
   
   Someone take it home.  Two more to go  . . .

   Y is for you.  You have the power to think and do - take actions towards healthy distractions to keep the quit.  Way to go everyone!

    I have another for K, for those of us that are single. Knitting, it keeps your hands and mind busy.
