Crispy- That is great!!  A taper plan for my ice cream sandwiches and then I will have to deal with less withdrawals when I get to one!!! Haha!! I needed a good laugh, but seriously I might try that!
Cathy-Maybe we can try to quit smoking together and be eachothers support.  The worst part is in the car.  I have an hour ride to work and smoke 4 digarettes on my ride.  That makes 8 for just the ride.  I smoke a pack a day!!  I used to only smoke 4 a day.  It is just the pain pills, it sneaks up on you.  Maybe we should try a taper plan on the cigarettes.  What do you think?
Goingtomakeit- Thanks are you starting a CA meeting for all of us that have started eating in substitute of the pills!! lol!

It is so common for an addict to trade one addiction for another. Seek counseling. Try going to a CA meeting (carbs ananonymous :) Just say NO to carbs! Lmao

Seriously our bodies do become imbalanced in the sugars.

Yeah I am smoking a lot more now, since I quit the pain pills.  I have to slow down on them and think about quitting.  My husband and I have decided that we should stop and we are suppossed to talk about it tonight when I get home from work.

I think you are so right. we find a new addiction.. When I finish this, then I have to stop the smoking... not looking forward to that. I enjoy it. But my dad died of lung cancer... So I have to stop... One thing at a time........
