ahh..here's the mantra I was looking for I'd rather be an ex-smoker occasionally thinking of smoking than a smoker constantly thinking of quitting! Many succesful quitters have used this one [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 231 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,240 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,570.80 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 32 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 43 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

Lotta I tend to be fairly obsessive in general. Once I decided that I really did not want to smoke, I transferred my addiction to cigarettes to an obssession with this site. I am only now being able to wean off this obsession. But you know what? I don't smoke anymore. So, it was worth it, despite the wider butt and the constant desire to know what is going on in the treehouse, who is yelling at their spouse, how long the quit train is this week, who is getting balcony rewards, what technique jdk is gonna use this week to remain smoke free, what bear is gonna do to get in trouble, whether Duffis is gonna share some wisdom, who is gonna be tough on the whiners, who has found the coolest pic to post, how many ways a cat can be dressed up, how many pounds someone has lost, and how they did it, and, since I'm not quite ready yet to make THAT my newest obsession, always wanting to be first in line for Greger's latest dinner creation. Try it....it might work for you too :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 231 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,240 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,570.80 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 32 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 40 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43

Lotta The word obsession in your post is a very important one. I know its can be difficult and we are obsessive about smoking. But that is because we are addicts. The point is to begin to practice distraction when that urge comes, patience with ourselves as the days go by and a sense of doing something wonderful for ourselves. It may be tough now, but I promise you this. If you give yourself a chance to become the master of the addiction you will achieve mastery. And when you do reach a certain point that obsession will become a real choice that you can make every waking moment. Once you begin to feel that way not-smoking will no longer be a choice you even have to bother about because not smoking will have become your way of being. Be patient with yourself, this process takes time and thoughtfulness as you work your self free of the addiction. In time your confidence will grow, the need to smoke will diminish and you will feel a wonderful sense of accomplishment. Good Luck my friend there are many here who wish you well... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 317 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,510 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,328.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 57 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 46

if it was easy everybody would do it. You GET to quit my friend Aloha says. Change your perspective, this is tough, but it is doable and totally worth it. Keep quitting and the craves will stop.

Congrats on getting day 1 behind you. the first 3 days are the toughest but you are tougher. i'm sure you don't want to go through the first days again. take some deep breaths and drink plenty of water, that helped me so much in the beginning. early on, i heard a saying that really helped me with the craves. 'what you resist...persists' i learned not to fight the cravings but instead to accept them for what they are...a crave, it isn't an instruction. take it one minute at a time if you have to and get plenty of rest...i slept through most of the first week..lol hang in there, it does get alot easier if you don't smoke..NOPE!!!
