OMG that is so true. A cigarette was needed to enhance any mood I was having as well. Quitting is a life changing experience and if you can't except that you more than likely wont be successful. I am still in the readjusting stage I guess. There are still times when I am dumbfounded and just have to twiddle my thumbs but hey, its better than smoking.

That was a super post that so many people can relate too. I still think abouty some of those ",'s" and some of those "!" daily. Much less than when I first quit. I know that extreme stress makes me think more about the demon sticks. Its only a fleeting thought. Thanks for the most interesting posts.

... about how I used to do it constantly... whenever ANYTHING at all happened in my life. Hungry... Tired... Angry... Happy... Bored...Sick... Scared...Excited... every shift in mood, no matter how subtle, called for a cigarette. My life revolved around smoking. In fact, smoking became the punctuation of my life. And then I quit. Think about it... Think about what that means... It means that by not smoking you suddenly remove all punctuation from your life... all the periods, commas, Capital letters... All those cigarettes that represented pauses, and exclamation marks, and question marks in your life just disappear overnight... everything that has guided you in the past is suddenly gone. So it is not then surprising that you might feel lost temporarily, or uncomfortable, or out of sorts. Of course it takes time for you to become accustomed to a new way of reading your life. But in time you do. Try reading a book in a mirror... or remove all punctuation from a paragraph, and you will find it hard to decipher the words at first... but given time and practice it all becomes natural again. That is what quitting is like. A big change, but not an insurmountable one. And above all quitting is something very achieveable if you give it the necessary time. Patience, persistence, practice... and a little perspective. That`s all you need. [b][color=Purple]Be Strong. Be Smart.
