YES! Pinned to my wall, where it was put the night before I began life as a non-smoker, if a poster which says "you are denying yourself NOTHING (by stopping). You are GIVING yourself something". Always remember Imagination (popband in the early 80s) "Happiness is just a state of mind". Excellent thread. s [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/10/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 90 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,163 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �540 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 9 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 11 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59

I looked but couldn't find it, a story about identical twins one threw out all smoking material and the other who kept a pack in the freezer and how the thought of having that pack in the freezer harmed the twin. Your post remimded me of this story. This past week, something similar happened to me. I realized for the first time that I was now a non-smoker. I said it. I had the thought and verbalized it into action. I declined an offered cigarette, (I took an experimental puff though not even a full puff, just a half puff) not on the basis that I had quit, but on the basis that I don't smoke. It made a HUGE difference in my quit. For one thing, it denies that there is even a choice to be made. I didn't have to (at least at that moment) make a decision not to smoke, or choose not to finish that cigarette. I am a non-smoker and no longer have to make that decision. I am sure that there are cravings out there with my name on them still. There are still battles to be fought, smoke dragons to be slain and bad thought-demons to be exorcized. My fight will be as a non-smoker against forces turning me back, not as someone whose forward progress is impeded.

so profound, nonic! [quote] Thoughts are the things that make up the story that we tell ourselves about who we are and what we are doing. Words are the representation of thoughts that we use to tell ourselves and others about who we are and what we are doing...Words are in effect the periodical table of our minds...So just as a chemist is very careful about the elements that he joins together, lest he or she cause an explosion or some other disaster, we too must choose our words with the greatest of care. Words do indeed cause actions that manifest change in the physical world.
