After one year and one month, nicodemon has the nerve to STILL

[ChristaC]

bug me sometimes. Out of the clear blue sky, every so often, I feel the tug.

 

Of course WE ALL KNOW, without a doubt, that I'm not caving... but what is he... an idiot? Does he really think he's got ANYTHING at all to offer me? Does he really think I'm THAT stupid to think that he's got something I want, or need?

 

Will he EVER give up? He's a royal pain in the ass sometimes... I'd sooner do this

than smoke...

I know it is annoying. But there is so much time in between these thoughts that it is amazing.

[ChristaC]

True dat. It's not hard to swat those thoughts away anymore...

 

In fact, most of the time I can't even believe I once smoked. It seems so strange to imagine putting this stick between my lips, lighting it, and sucking the smoke deep into my lungs... WHY did I ever DO that?

It's not nicotine you want. It a sense of enjoyment or relaxation. Treat yourself to a margarita and watch the sun set. Or traffic go by. You just want a small thank you to yourself and you deserve it

[Paul723]

Small treats!

I think its the addict in us that makes us want to stratch that old itch every so often. For me even with over 2 1/2 yrs I still get odd urges. Not as a test but you figure look how many yrs/decades we smoked so its just odd urges trying to corner us but with the more freedom we have the more its so easy to just laugh it off. :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

Think of it as a little reminder of what you've accomplished. 

[ChristaC]

You're right of course... all of you. It's not the nicotine any more.... it's the "aaaahhhh" feeling of reward.

 

Funny how smokers think of killing themselves by inhaling deadly chemicals as a "reward", though... as in "I worked hard and deserve to be rewarded by sucking on a cancer stick".

 

Yeah, that makes sense. NOT.

Christa,

We smoked a long time ,so I suppose it's gonna time time to rid of them altogether in our thoughts....

I know what you mean ,we don't want them ,but they are still in our minds......crap......

One day at a time......they will fade and vanish forever.....

Hugs

[ChristaC]

I know, Doreen... the brain is on automatic pilot sometimes... no biggie, really, just a minor annoyance as in "what the hell? Go away!".... :-D

I like this.. although I don't think I am rewarding myself I am killing myself
