smoking as a therapy session. how funny/true. But the cost is way toooo high. It's like some kind of morbid fairy tale where you have to pay for something with your life.
I think about the extent to which we have participated in that form of therapy only to stiffle the issues. In doing that we have made great accomidations. I'm betting that w/o the cigarettes that all our energy that went into all that accomidating will handle the issues much better than that smoky therapy ever could. I think that once we get our act together, we're gonna ziiiip along.
Care to make a wager?

the thought for me is not abhorant, in fact, it sounds downright appealing. That's one benefit I don't share with a lot of the quitters here. But, I'm not gonna do it. too much at steak.

as long as your shrink doesn't have a criminal record involving snuffing patients, then you can't do any worse than you did with the cigarettes. Just Kidding!
I know what you mean about throwing everything at this quit. Sometimes I feel like I'm on a sinking boat and I look around for everything that I can to throw off.
I'm gonna go now to see what else I can find to throw at it, maybe some self-depreciating attitudes I've been hording in the back of my closet. I guess there are positive and neg. things to throw in. This would be an example of a neg. where as exercise is a positive - been picking up that too as of late and OOOOOOOOPPPPPPPHHHHHH!!!! just threw it into the quit. :p

Every once in awhile those thoughts come back to me. Today I was watching a guy smoke outside in the freezing cold and I was glad it wasn't me. I was glad that I wasn't racing to finish my last appointment because I couldn't stand to wait another minute to smoke. I have a cold and I was glad that I don't have to smoke and make myself feel even worse...I was also glad that I won't have that awful hacking cough for another 3 weeks after the cold goes away.
I need to remember how amazing it is to be free especially at those times when the junkie kicks in.

Imallclear,
Keep persevering! Start seeking out new passions and interests and make that thought a thing of the past!
You've got 43 days under your belt! You can do this!
