Your doing great...

[Jen]

Thanks everyone for the welcomes!! I've been browsing and reading so between that and my regular day it should help keep me busy I hope lol keep trying to knock them images of smoking out my brain and it just isn't working. I did read the 'romancing' post and wow did that person have it pegged! I know there were so many times when I was totally disgusted by smoking and for some reason those are just not the images that come to mind. Go figure :)

This is one of the images that really made me dig deep to quit for good- 1 year time period - wtf

Great motivator Humbled .. but on whyquit it says 2 months between photo's!  Bryan's story is posted here http://whyquit.com/whyquit/BryanLeeCurtis.html

 

I set this picture as the background on my cell phone for the first 4 weeks.

Welcome Jen!

 

I still have episodes of romancing, but the key for me is understanding what is happening and that my mind is trying to play tricks on me. 

 

One of the things I did early on that helped me was to outline all the things I hated about smoking, and keep the list close to me all the time. For particularly tough craves/triggers I would run through the list and then picture one of my children smoking.
