Exactly that is why I still post my (rare) moments of addiction flare up. And working remedies. To some it may come across as 'wow, is that still an issue' or, 'maybe thats a bit overdone...?' But I feel like I need to utilize these moments and keep breaking chains as long as they present themselves. I see my second year as a chance to put everything to practice i learned the first year. It serves me well, I really still feel better every day, noticing changes in the way I handle things. Smoking is nowhere near tempting anymore, and when I do have smokey thoughts, I instantly recognise them as neuro pathway patterns. Lilly and others, keep going and keep making yourself aware of whats happening. Dont fall for the attachment trap. This will all be in the past somewhere soon. Excellent post, M'Life. The life lessons learned from quitting and the techniques used in putting the addiction to sleep continue to serve us in many ways as the years go by.

Three months, Smoke free ! Congratulations. The Terrible 3's (text & resource links) and a video from our friend, Joel Spitzer

As addicts, we thought of or acted on nicotine EVERY TWENTY MINUTES (or less !) for YEARS. To think that pattern is going to disappear in months is unrealistic, brain receptors need to be reclaimed one by one and this takes time. A year full of seasonal triggers and moments when addiction makes us whine and plead or bargain. Moments we must defy ! Hey You Smoked For 42 Years, Why On Earth Would You Think You Can Get Past The Addiction In A Couple of Months? Cut Yourself A Break You won't be swimming in this river forever (unless you choose to relapse). Stay focused.

The Mighty One was the initial instigator. His DNA is all over the crime scene.

Congratulations, @QueenB on your Nine Months of Freedom ! Celebrate wildly and reward yourself as best you know how... Thank you for sharing your quit with us.

I am so shocked that their ringleader wasn't @bakon, 'tho he was in on it and maybe worked behind the scenes. @mightyboosh AND @despair not were co-conspirators. Shocking. @Vivianne, @Doreensfree, @Leanna, @abbynormal, @notsmokinjo, @Nancy and all other Triumphant Chicks need to agree on punishments. It won't be pretty. Here is proof

THE GAME POLICE have been summoned. @mightybooshbegan the cheating flurry. I am SO disappointed in YOU ! @bakonto follow is a 'no brainer' and I just don't know what to say, @despair not. TSK TSK TSK and you better believe the next spanking will be quite SEVERE. I am taking this back to -2 one of the punishments will be to annul ALL of your contributions. I will try and 'forget' you were so mischievous. Just wait till The Triumphant Chicks find out. Y'all are going to be in serious TROUBLE. Love, Saz
