11-5. I did, too. Amazing. I left here long ago because of the egos flying around. Drop in out of curiosity and what do I find on the first thread I look at? Support? Allowance? Nope. Egos keeping score over journals and comments deriding the mods.

11-4! I did journal! It helped me immensly. I wrote alot to alleviate junkie thinking, to pump myself up and in general to alleviate anxiety! It is an excellent tool, and you can't smoke and write at the same time! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 311 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,775 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,281.05 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 40 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 13 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20

11-3 to the No's I found it more beneficial just to come him and share problems/ issues/jokes with other Quitters. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 696 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 20,880 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �5,220.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 113 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 33

I've got all my triggers laid out in my head, so, repeating them in a journal doesn't fix them any better in memory. As for cravings, well, I don't want to exacerbate them by recounting them in a journal while I'm chewing my lips off - again, my head is very alert to what the cravings will be doing to me - the trick is to find ways to abate them and I just don't think that there're any revelatory moments in writing them down before or after.... I think my OCD nature about this quitting campaign is rolling around in my head ALL the time now and that serves as my journal... I think Gen is right... it's either like it or not-like-it... no biggie.....

I have never kept a journal either. I know my triggers and they aren't going away so you need to find ways to deal with them.

No. It's just a not-a-journal-sort kind of thing. Gen [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 288 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,608 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �1,440.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 39 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51
