Saturday am
Have been having a very good time all in all. YET.
I came here and read a post and it is all I can do to hold back the tears. They are really of sadness. I am so sorry to see the huge struggle that we have. The amount of energy and the time and space put into this quit. One can think so well about what is one's life and then it is just not so. I look deeper and what I see is denial. Then I upon further inspection, can see the addict, laying inside, then that addict piece springs forward and in no time the body is consumed by the addict. What was once beautiful and human and seeingly carefree, is now consumed. Hmmmmmmm. Sounds just like how a cancerous cell lies quietly inside of the body, is triggered by some event and within days, months has overtaken the body and turned what was once human into something cancerous and dead. Eaten away all of the flesh and consumed itself to die. Ah HA, there it is this is where the sadness lies, this is the sad part, that we can consume ourselves. That we can fully turn on ourselves and take the life that feeds each of us.
Looking today to find the nurturing part of myself, heal that part that can turn on myself and consume until here is nothing left.
Funny how it is all in that little note.
Not One Puff Ever.

What to do & expect after 3 weeks?
Perhaps some of you (older) longer term quiters could share for us newbies what to expect.
I think this post is very interesting in that it provides a lot of great information about what to expect in the beginning and in the first three weeks. As I roll through that period I would appreciate as much information about what to expect and what I can use as defenses to maintain and keep my quit.

Laughter has got to be good medicine.
And I mean that truly. I am going to go study this. All of the stuff about uptake inhibitors, dopamine and do we actually just create that stuff in our brain by laughing. I know that when O was smoking that I could barely laugh it turned into a hacking coughing gasping for air wheezing fit. AND just now I was laughing, laughing so hard and I was not wheezing or any of that stuff. and I feel more with it more together than I have feltsince ohI don't know the BM ad excessive gas posts the other night when I was also laughing. Shevie I bet you know about this all of the research you have done and I will go off and look at this. I bet there has to be some kind of study.
Blagh blagh blagh
I think I need to laugh, I mean really roll around laughing everyday. I t might turn out to be as gopod as comfort food and better for me.
