I hope you're better this morning. I'd tell that if you weren't to get your butt back here but I guess your reading this so you're already here. :) It sounds like you're fixating on a cigarette. I remember in the past when I would do this and since our minds our so powerful, when you fixate on something, especially something that you can easily have, it makes it very difficult to think about anything else. It's what we do as addicts when we want something that we know will lead us down a road we may never return from. It's not worth it. Hang on Holski, you'll get through this and at some point in the near future, you won't have to deal with such strong urges. Don't forget that you're coming up on 3 months and you know what that means. If not, watch below. Yep, you guessed it, a video from Joel's library which addresses fixating on a cigarette. Fixating On A Cigarette This video discusses how people often fixate on the desire to have "a good" cigarette. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZLJ_nlkUCQ&list=PL4F05C03D0F9B86DB&index=42 The Terrible 3's This video discusses why people "may" have problems at three day and three month marks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTIr3UEez1w&list=PL4F05C03D0F9B86DB&index=11 Change Of Season Triggers - FALL Video discussed how change of season events and conditions may result in a temporary increase of thoughts for cigarettes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADlHtj7N8vo

Who Wants To Go Back To Smoking? This video discusses how former smokers at times think they want to go back to smoking, but if they really remind themselves of the package deal that goes along with being a smoker, it will be easy for them to stick to their quit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG9qGjf2hd8&list=PL76365B6CE2DA076B

Yes, it gets easier and this definitely temporary.

Happy Birthday, Marti! Thanks for being here. :)

Her and I wouldn't be. She said she wouldn't even let me have coffee with her and her HB. She said she'd shut the lights off and act like nobody was home. She ain't no kin of mine. :)

Happy Birthday, Rachael! I sure hope you're okay!

She loves death and gore. The more the better. She doesn't like people so when the rest of us are in shock, she'll be pumping her fist to the Heavens shouting off with the heads!

Not you bag? What is this, 1972? Nothing romantic about TWD. Watch it or getting warning points.

Yeah well why aren't you watching The Walking Dead and catching up on all the seasons before the new season starts next month? If I'm not mistaken, you haven't seen anything beyond one or two episodes of Season 1, correct? Don't come in there and tell me how bad the acting is on some c rated zombie show when you could be catching up on TWD. Just saying. You can report me You can court me But you can't thwart me You can bait me You can hate me But you can't rate me You may be well read But you best turn on The Dead Don't go to bed and instead feel the dread

Thanks everybody!! I hadn't even realized that today was the 7th because I've been so focused on October 7th rolling around. Usually I don't care too much to celebrate how long I've been quit, but this one year coming up is very, very special to me. I've been through more since I've quit than I have in any other single year in my life and haven't wanted to smoke. Next month, I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to celebrate. Maybe I'll finally get those 25 fence post holes dug or do something fun like that. :) I live life on the wild side. Burning candles at both ends, if you will. lol

Great job, Natalie! I'm impressed by your dedication to keep your quit. You're not going to jinx anything by saying that you feel better because you're a non-smoker now and nothing can make you take another puff. Enjoy your new non-smoking life and all of the benefits and freedom that come along with it. The longer you stay quit the better things get. That says quite a bit because you're feeling pretty good right now.
