A Little Scared

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 880

sammie We all understand the feeling of uncertainty that some times comes with the decision to quit. It is natural. As humans, we don't particularly care for change. In the case of nicotine addiction, we have the added fear of losing the effects of the drug on which we have come to rely for so long. However, the reality is that by doing this you are gaining far more than you know. The loss that you envision is only a perceptual one. Believing that cigarettes are necessary in your life is one of the great smoker's myths. Once you have broken the cycle, you will realize that you do not need to smoke now nor did you ever need cigarettes in your life. It is the drug itself that teaches us dependence. And we have all been willing students. Take time to study the program and learn all that you can about the addiction. When you are ready to quit you will find many good folks here willing to lend you a hand. nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 428 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,840 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $4,494.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 79 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 32 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

Definitely stuff to be scared of Sammie; scariest of all is freedom, because we're not tied or obligated to anything. Hard to imagine life without that after-dinner smoke, huh? Speaking only for myself, I'm more scared of slavery than of freedom, and I say that after having enjoyed 9 months of freedom and then decided that slavery was better. What was I thinking??? Walk with me into freedom, Sammie. We're both standing in the doorway. peteg [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/25/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 0 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 0 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $0.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 52 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59
