Ash Kickers, Come Strut Your Stuff!!!!

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 1687

Iwin, I know that you know the drill, so there is no reason for me to go into them. But the one that helps me the most is the deep breathing and blowing out really slow, then relax starting with your head until you get to your toes. Try to clear your thoughts and meditate until you feel safe. I do this in a very quiet place, with soft music very low, and then sometimes I don't want any sound just me and my spirit. If you can do this you will be surprised how you feel. I know that a financial worry is one of the toughest things that we can have. After my husband died it took me several months to adjust to the income I had to live on. But I just turned it loose and everything is going fine. If I had held on to that I would have never been able to even start my quit. That saves me $120.00/mo You will be in my thoughts and prayers and I am sending you some happy vibes...Stay strong my dear and remember to say to yourself "I WILL DO THIS", and I know you can!!

Hey IWin, Sorry to hear that you're having a bad day. Are you okay??? Do you need help?? You know what to do if you need help, maybe you are just having one of those blue days... Please let us know, congratulations on those fantastic 116 days and those 2,333 cigarettes not smoked. I know that you are proud of that. Your quit is close to mine, I can't believe it is almost 4 months. I quit Jan 7th. This journey can be a different direction everyday, stay strong and keep close to SSC. We are all so proud of you and hoping you have a better day tomorrow.

Hello Iwin, Happy that you made it through Monday, you are probably right about the cravings. Stress will keep us confused, and that allows all kinds of thought in our minds...Sometime I say "What Mind". I'm so happy for you that your husband is quitting too. That would be a horrible thing if you had to endure a smoked filled house. When I look at your 117 days, it just don't seem fair that you are still having cravings for days. Iwin, for some reason Helen Keller's word come to mind and I know that you have probably read them but I feel I must send them to you. Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be struck blind; Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, as if you would be struck deaf. Touch each object as if tomorrow your sense of touch would fail--- Smell perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell or taste again. Sometimes I don't know the reason I say or write things, I just want to be obedient to my spirit. You and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers, may you awake tomorrow with more strength and courage. Keep on kicking ash!!!

Hey Redrosie, I'm from a small community in Southwest VA, even smaller than the one that NSA Girl is from. I am 30 miles round trip to the grocery store. But it is beautiful in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Tannersville, VA. NSA GIRL, Tannersville is about 35 miles north of Marion, VA.

Hi Forthe 11th Time, as you saw I live in Southwest, VA and the last time I boutht Cig's was in Dec. 2005. And I think they were $24 - $26 dollars/ct, just depended up on where you bought them. I see you live in NY, I lived in CT for 4 years and cig's were so much higher there. Best of wishes on you quit and keep on saving. :) SUNSHINE [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/7/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 78 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,341 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $273 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59

Oh my gosh, January was a quitters month. Thanks Redrosie and fish for all the copy and paste. You have worked hard and I know that everyone appreciates all your hard work. You have really gave of yourselves. Reminds me of a saying: They who give have all things; They who withhold have nothing. So you two should have all things.
