well my thread is kind of boring....wtf????? nobody wants to come in here? sit down..i'll make you a nice drink...we can talk... Bakon says i like back seats...depends on the car....and how much room there is. Hit me up :)

nobody every died from a crave plenty die as a result of giving into that crave...over and over again. great post miss jenny jenn! :)

I know in the past, whenever I started fixating on that one cigarette, I was in danger of relapse. Obsessing over that one cigarette that I can really remember making me "feel good" ...more than likely it was a moment where I had to go a long period of time without smoking...which is why it made me feel good...or during a night of drinking...that was always another. Again..another illusion. I feel good NOW..as a non smoker. As a matter of fact...I feel great. I don't drink...or if i do...it's rare these days. Nothing to romance. :) It was all an illusion....one big fat liar. Just me, myself, and I...and I love it that way. There is no substance on this earth that makes me feel good except good fuel and exercise...proper sleep...and a healthy, positive attitude. That's it in a nutshell. The unhealthy romance between me and big bad tobacco is OVER. My blinders are off and tossed in the trash.

ok...yesterday was practice... :)

this includes forgiving yourself

LOL...I finally have a thread with my name on it!! :) I' m around Bakon....just do a lot of drive by's....not much time to climb in the back seat....but I miss it back there!!! how ya been??

that's how it's done evelyn...one crisis at a time...each time it makes you stronger and stronger. You are stronger than you think you are ...always remember that

Present!!

You guys are too cute.....always look forward to hearing about your Journey. These next 48 days are no exception because even thought it's rough for the 2 of you...the buildup of the excitement will be a great experience for you and for all of us. Imagine how great you will feel when you reach day 1. :) On that note....let the countdown begin.....

great job RWW......hope to hear from you :)

NOPE!! All day!!

the fire is getting down and it's cold!!!! Need more...can we make it to at least 200,000?????

Woo hoo! Get ready to celebrate!! Almost time!! 6 more days. :)

Awesome post and great responses. You are doing fabulous Geri! You are right where you need to be. :)

i always say it's like watching grass grow...you can't see it....but it's happening. :) This is where blind faith comes in...faith in us....and trust me when I say....it will get better. As a matter of fact...the turning point for me was when I just accepted this as fact....that even on my worst days, i'm still not going to smoke no matter what and eventually...my new normal will come to fruition. Guess what happened? It did :) Unfortunately listening to the timelines of others experiences can sometimes hurt us because we are disappointed when it doesn't happen for me as it did them...and that does get frustrating. But eventually...it does happen for everyone. Just keep it one day at a time....don't worry about tomorrow and "how long will go on" because the junky inside of you LOVES this frustrating thought...it's a weakness that gives the addiction a possible opening. But you will not let that happen because YOU are stronger than IT

great post Stu!!! You nailed it. The only people who continue to suffer when "attempting" to quit smoking are the ones who still believe in the cigarette. Once you realize it was all a lie....commitment to NOPE is unbreakable.
