Riverdale Man, love your attitude, and positive thinking. I also have a dog (Jack Russell), and believe me he demands alot of attention. He left Sunday and did not come home until Monday evening, I got so angry looking for him for two days. Of course I was having a tough time before he left I think he was in on the plot. But I made it through with the help of this site and did not smoke. I look at every day that I don't smoke as precious, I just hope I didn't wait too long to quit. I will be watching for your posts. Hang tight.... :) Sunshine [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/7/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 59 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,009 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $206.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 3 [B]Seconds:[/B] 30

Galfriday, So sorry to hear of your loss, but so proud of you and your reaction to the situation. I also use the patch, today is my last one. But I know that I will be okay. This week has been rough, but you know that anything that is worth doing is worth doing well. And that is how I feel about my quit. Blessings to you and your family!!!!

Riverdale Man, I so sorry that you are having a tough time especially the physical pain. My daughter has migrains and she will suffer for days. This addiction has sooooooo many complications and side affects. They hit you right over the head. And I do know about the sad feeling, I have felt sad all week. I try not to say too much about the way I feel but sometimes it helps to just say it. Sometimes you feel like you are the only one that feels that way. And we all know that is the addiction messing with our brain. I know that you are a strong man and will make it through with flying colors. When I am just looking through the threads I always look for you name. Because you have helped me so much. And I want to thank you for that. I will be thinking of you. Keep posting so we can all know how you are doing.

Easter Sunday today. Very thoughtful about what happens in the quitting process. What does one go through. What direction do I need to go in to protect and honour the work that I have put into my quit. I know that for me when I am reading most of the posts that I am constantly wondering, romantisicing the smoking. When I am out with the dog, when I am in the garden when I am working on anything the though of smoking glances across my mind and is like a feather floating through the air, no imprint, no waves. When I am here I am on the verge of a crave. I know that I am helpless to help with anyone but myself. I know that for me if I keep my focus on the joyful aspects of my life I am much more able to get through without a lot of drama, without dropping through to the bottom of my motional makeup, and staying grovelling, weighed downby my own fear of te fear of smoking. One foot in front of the other. Always. the question that I constantly ask "Is what I am doing getting me closer to where I want to be or farther away." The answer to this question is for me very important as it always tells me what I need to be doing. I said at the beginning that I wanted to celebrate and be proud of my accomplishment. For some portion of this I am and I know that if I was more involved in my own life and not shying back from it becase I am afraid of what will happen as I move into my life of not smoking I get further away from being able to celebrate, be happy, be joyous. I don't know if I am making sense and to be real clear if I am always thinking about not smoking I can not really think very well about all the other aspects of my life that I really want. Push comes to shove, Get on with my life. Live my life to the fullest. Know that what ever I do I needto be firmly in my own resolve to live life and do it witout ever smoking. N.O.P.E. Not One Puff Ever. Not a whole lot of laughs here and I know I will get those laughs with my dog and I will get those smiles nd that intense sense of joy as I walk through my garden watching the flowers bloom and the trees come into leaf. Cheers Happy Spring. [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 58 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,169 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $435 [B]Life Gained:

Thoughts. Thoughts and more thoughts. The thoughts have actually set my mouth to watering this morning. I am salavating over the thought of having a cigarette. To fall into the temptation to let myself be delirious, unconscious and simple quit the quit. That is one part my mind. There is another part of my mind that ays simply do different. Resist, go and do otherwise, So HERE I AM. Here is the rantthat fights against the junkie thoughts. My mind I know can drive me crazy, this is nothing new. I read the golferman try post all 3 long pages, at least twice. There is a part of me that goes oh lah de dah (the intellectualization and battering of words, like badminton birdies). And there ia a part on me that looks at the language and says oh my G-D this is sad because it is all the same. We can try and try and try and we can do and do and do. We can want for something so bad we can taste it. WHAT I NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW IS KEEP MY AGREEMENT WITH MYSELF. In the universal realm of my quit, my spinning mind really has little to do with my addiction, my wanting to quit, my visualizing of not being able to breath, REALLY not being able to breath, IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH MY CHOICE, MY ACTIONS, MY BEHAVIOUR. I need to in every moment recognize my choice to be a non-smoker. To go back to recognizing my agreement with my self, to give myself the experience of having no smoke, nicotine, formaldahyde, tar and all of the other crap that is in a cigarette and the effluent that I inhale when it is lit. I am sad today reading of Cuddles and your struggle, StuBow and your choosing to purchase cigarettes and consume them. The new people who post about how hard it is to cut back, (I know the cutting back thing, I spent a month going from 25 cigarettes or more a day to 6, I finally had to say to myself that I was making it a whole lot more difficult to do this and I had to tell myself to finally give over and quit, [i]by the way I usually eat the whole box of chocolates, that could be a pound or it could be 5 pounds I will eat the whole thing[/i] ). Hearing of how difficult these quits and the emotions that come up around then has me feel sad. Lady I am sad and sorry that your Dad started smoking again. There is a whole lot here that has me feel like I have lost s

So the word out there is 21. That is how many times it takes to change, shift, repattern a habit. That is why 21 days was for me a major milestone. I had for 21 days not smoked first thing in the morning, not smoked last thing at night and about 18 or 22 other smokes that I did not have during each of the last 21 days. So 21 was an important milestone. I got through it and now for the next ... . I keep looking at 100 days and I say that is too long to far away, and thus I go one day at a time, one crave, one habit, one moment of response done differently. After what 35 years, thats 255,500 individual moments to reprogram. AND I am doing it. Every day is twenty less lumps of tar, 20 less gags, 100's less chokes and coughs and 1000's less sniffles, snorts and all the rest. NOW I have hundreds and thousand of clear breathes each day. I am able to get across the pool 25 whole metres without thinking that I will blowup or cave in on myself. I am slowly each day taking whatever steps it takes to get free, get my life back and keep going on this new path that I am on. I hear questions like how long will this go on. How many times will I feel this. Well I want the cravings to get less and the breathing to get more. I want the smoking thoughts out and I want the living thoughts in. I want for the isolation and the lonelyness that I felt as a smoker to be gone and for me to be more socially involved. I want for this (LIFE) to go on for some long time yet. I want all of the feelings to go on and on and on. Because, look at the alternative, I want more life, I want more feelings and I pray, choose, and sometimes desperately wish that I will be able to continue to create the choice that says "Give Me Life" "Let Phillip LIve". So thats my rant for the day. Welcome to all the new readers, the people who are testing the waters. Come on in this is a great place to be and a place full of life, love, riches beyond belief and something that we can never have too much of support. From sunny, cold (well cool), fresh Toronto.
