Everybody's different and what works for me might not work for somebody else. I chose the name breather because I was having a hard time breathing and wanted to breathe easier. So it's about hope and it's getting better allready. Now the thought patterns are a different story. Addiction really is round. I can't forget to remember to be grateful because if I'm grateful I can't be anything else at the same time. Woke up in a dream and made it happen. Breather 13 Addict 0
Had an ultrasound at the start of November and had been worried about it for some time. Anyway went to the Dr's yesterday morning and everything's good. The good thing is that I didn't have to try and hide my nicotine stained fingers because they aren't stained anymore. It was only a matter of time before I would've felt the wrath of the "Doc" as he's a non-smoker and no fool. They knew , I wasn't fooling anybody. Was embaressed about it though and don't have to be now. Another plus. I like the idea of not smoking for a minute or five minutes at a time to get through the crave. Obsession followed by compulsion subsides. Only thoughts and the black hole to deal with now. No promises to make to anyone except that I'll TRY. jusT foR todaY I won't smoke. Tomorrow's another day and we start all over again. With the good people here at the SSC , the right tools in my tool box , and wanting this quit more than anything I've ever wanted in my life I know that things are going to be OK...breather 15 Addict 0
