Choices...

Most definately Dutch & BF, If you treat this like a struggle - it will be, like its punishment - you will not succeed!! Adjust your attitude toward your quit and beleive it - you will succeed. :) I am huge on affirmations and the power of positive thoughts, i beleive in myself, i love me enough to know i will never pick up another cigarette.

Waht is the difference betw. an Addiction and a Habit???

Hmm not sure. you could jeeves or google it. To me, i guess a habit is something you are used to doing over and over like a mannerisim. An addiction is MUST have in order to feel "normal" or to satisy a need. Thankfully you can change both a habit and an addiction to something. This is my definition...

Where did our chewers and dippers go?

Congratulations Infinite Thanks for popping in and letting us know how you are going. I never really thought of it in the terms of being a slave to the cigarette but it really is true. When i look back now i shake my head and i realize i really was a slave to it. bowing down to its every need. Not anymore.

5 days

Hey Red, and so you should be proud :) I remember feeling the same. I was so proud of ME, its an empowering thing you have done for YOU. I remember i couldnt stop smiling for days. 5 days is an eternity when your body is ridding itself of toxins, each minute feels like and hour, hour like a day and so forth. :) Keep it up, if you need any help, express how you feel anything, come here and post support is really important in your quit. You're doin really well hun :) PrincessC :) x [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 23 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 529 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $234.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 46
