From the far out west and the place where I learned to smoke 36 years ago. Thanks for this post. Fear and moving through, around and past fear is a major piece of knowledge. Thanks :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 234 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,874 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1872 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 38 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

Thinking of you Duffis~ Here's another for your collection. Believe in Yourself [i] by: Author Unknown, Source Unknown[/i] There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be. That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself. There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them. Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are. So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be. Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

[quote] fear almost always comes alongside anything worth doing in your life. [/quote] Once we work through that fear comes the comfort. Right? I agree with you and I [i]really[/i] needed this post. Thank you so much.

Thank you Bob. What I find amazing about your posts is that they are always fresh. They show thought and genuinely reflect the emotions and/or thought processes that are going on for you at the time. Although repetition of the same old mantras is and can be helpful, YOU are always here with some new and fresh wisdom. Guess that is why you are so revered as an elder. Welcome back.

I have been away for a long time with only a brief check in. Roxanne has been kind enough to read some of the posts and type a reply under my name. With Gods mighty help I have won the battle with Cancer, survived a Pit Bull attack and naturally groups of three, a final blow with a passing of kidney stones. I do not envy child birth any longer. While down, but not out, I have reviewed my vast library and found an old theorem on fear and thought about its implication on the theme of quitting smoking. While I have advocated that the quit process is a complete change of life styles, I found this article to be somewhat supportive of that. It is called honoring life changes. I hope you will enjoy the read. Anything worth doing will always have some fear attached to it. For example, having a baby, getting married, changing careers-all of these life changes can bring up deep fears. It helps to remember that this type of fear is good. It is your way of questioning whether you really want the new life these changes will bring. It is also a potent reminder that releasing and grieving the past is a necessary part of moving into the new. Fear has a way of throwing us off balance, making us feel uncertain and insecure, but it is not meant to discourage us. Its purpose is to notify us that we are at the edge of our comfort zone, poised in between the old life and a new one. Whenever we face our fear, we overcome an inner obstacle and move into new and life-enhancing territory, both inside and out. The more we learn to respect and even welcome fear, the more we will be able to hear its wisdom, wisdom that will let us know that the time has come to move forward, or not. While comfort with fear is a contradiction in terms, we can learn to honor our fear, recognizing its arrival, listening to its intelligence, and respecting it as a harbinger of transformation. Indeed, it informs us that the change we are contemplating is significant, enabling us to approach it with the proper reverence. You might wish to converse with your fear, plumbing its depths for a greater understanding of the change you are making. You could do this by sitting quietly in meditation and listening or by journaling. Writing down whatever comes up-your worries, your sadness, your ex

By the way, I had no idea you were having such a tough go of things. No doubt you know now that your quit is a strong one. I'm glad you're better :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/2/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 614 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,298 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2191.98 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 65 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48
