I believe we both posses a very similar inner stregnth and knowingness that we are on a mission yet we view it as already 'complete'. Congrats on 30 days hon, reward yourself greatly, you SO deserve it!!! I am so proud you are part of the C.A.R.E. You set a great example here for everyone. Many Blessings, Eve :) Proud to be a C.A.R.E.

Well ya'll are just fantastic...that is all there is too it! So help me, I believe... with all my being... that I am a 30 day non-smoker because of SSC and the many members who are here to support one another through quitting smoking. I give myself a mental pinch to see if I'm really awake and that it really has been 30 days. There is something very VERY different about this quit than with the others. I've read so many of the posts from different members about their quits, something they read and wanted to share with everyone, differences of opinion, how they are feeling at any given moment....and on and on. What seems to stand out about my successful 30 days, is that I expect success this time. I'm not 'quitting smoking' (in the process of) ...I *quit* (STOPPED!) smoking. There is more a mental finality to this quit. So...mental attitude is truly one of the keys toward a successful quit. Another step I took, that seemed a waste of time in previous quits, was to PREPARE for my quit. Weeks before quitting, I made certain areas of the house off limits for smoking. I'd go to another area or outside to smoke. This interrupted the brain from associating the Master Bed/Bath with smoking. I set up a room in the house where I could find quiet and calm where I knew I would need to go when I was feeling overwhelmed. I surrounded myself with different scents from candles & room freshners so that my olfactory senses are awash with ANYTHING BUT Cigarette Smoke!!!! Most important, I talk positively to myself constantly. I tell myself how wonderful it is NOT to smell like a walking chimney of cigarette smoke. I revel in being able to smell EVERYTHING! I can walk forever now without being winded. My sinuses are clearing up, my breath is sweet. I imagine my every move as that of a non-smoker. I paint a mental picture of me doing everyday tasks, as a total non-smoker and then live completely immersed in the thought that I AM a non-smoker! To those who have been here before me...Here I come. To Those who come behind me...You CAN do this!!!! Hugs to all and many thanks...I look forward to 60 days, and then 90 days and then.... well you get the idea!
