That is so true. I remember when I quit I bought Pumpkin seeds and cleaned out the ashtray in my car and every time I drove I ate pumpkin seeds. The funny thing was that everytime I reached for a seed my other hand reached for the window lever like I was getting ready to light up. I laughed out loud at myself for a very long time about that one. Now I don't even have the pumpkin seeds.

You're not kidding, that is one huge habit to break! Another reflex movement thang I noticed when I first quit, I used to sort of play with my fingernails when I was walking (where I used to be lighting and smoking a ciggie) I'd press down with my thumb on my index, middle, ring, pinky finger then repeated it. Then I'd realize it was happening and stop myself with a 'whew that was weird'... I still find myself doing odd things with my hands sometimes, though, like making a 'fetal fist' (thumb tucked inside) when I'm stressed, surely a throwback to that reaching reflex. Odd the things that come back! x T [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 199 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,577 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �1,094.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 16 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20

How true. Thank you for the post. I am just now experiencing what you are talking about. I waited a long time. 6 months to get relief and feel a taste of freedom. I go longer all the time without thinking about it at all. Throughout the day when the thoughts do cross my mind....they are whispers.

The Habit of Reaching There are ups, and there are downs neither of these should cause you to react and reach for one. The little devil he who keeps, sticking his nose into most everything we do. He pushes himself on us, yes he does; ells us when its time. When you break the habit of reaching, you have passed a major milestone. That in my opinion is the hardest part, breaking that reflex, that reaction. When you have settled that score, you could very well be on your way to a smoke free life. And that would be nice, no, very nice. Congratulations to you for all the hard work you have done to make it happen. When you keep sticking to it the pay out will happen. Keep your emotions under control. We are learning how to do this.
