H.O.W.

Hi Sparky Good to see you're keeping on keeping on. I like the slogans. H.A.L.T. , H.O.W. jusT foR todaY , the last letters spelling TRY. I like F.E.A.R. meaning I can Frig Everything And Run or I can Face Everything And Recover. Of course , denial's a river in Africa. I think the slogans are designed to effect change. To effect change sufficient to bring about recovery. H.O.W. is also W.H.O. and I won't say you. I can only speak for myself but it's about being beat up enough or sick enough to be willing to change. It's about coming to the realization that no I don't know everything , at that point I become teachable. I can't , We can. Meaning I can take what I need from a collective wisdom and leave the rest. I like humility , you come before me , u before mi. They say insanity is repeating the same things over and over and expecting a different result. The result is always the same. A change in attitude sufficient to bring about recovery , that's what it is. Think there's a slogan about Attitude as well. There's one about think. Think Think Think and oh yea Stink'n Think'n , remember that one ? Probably a hundred more but I'd better stop. At some point this disease can be arrested and recovery is then possible. If I always do what I always did I'll always get what I always got. breather 29 T.B.A The Big Addict 0

Hi Petruchki Aw it's gnawing at you. Best things to do. Have a nice cool glass of water from the fridge or with ice. Suggest keeping water handy in the fridge 0 calories. Take a walk outside if you can and just take deep breaths of fresh air , if you have fresh air where you live? Do anything to distract yourself from obsessing on it. I slept a lot early on. You're almost through the day. If it was me I might just go to sleep. If you're hungry eat. If you're tired sleep. If you're lonely reach out. If you're angry read posts. I know what you're going through. breather 29 Addict 0

H.O.W.

Hey Sparky Excellent

Good Orderly Direction. Had forgotten about that one. Was in alcohol and drug program from 1991 to 1996. Had 5 years clean and sober but was totally miserable. Relapsed after 5 years. Never fell down the stairs until I stopped drinking. lol. Got an idea from Rock that if we feel like we need to smoke we should tape oven mitts on our hands.

This is much harder than any addiction I've faced yet. I can remember watching a show on TV about this rare disease where the bones grow out of control and there's basically nothing they can do about it but prolong it. The person is entombed in their own bones and it eventualy suffocates them much like smoking. We have a choice where they don't. How about Let Go and Let God. I'm not really religious but it's when you say I can't deal with this anymore , you take it. I guess it's admitting failure. To say " I couldn't even smoke properly without coughing my lungs out. If I was such a great smoker I'd be able to breath , but I couldn't. Maybe a huge pair of oven mitts would be prudent to wear to some parties over the holidays. Sense of humour a must. breather 29 Addict 0

Hey Pet Serious Try not to get overtired. Ruined a 6 week quit that way. You've allready made it through today. You could allways wear oven mitts to the next dinner. Just tell them you're quitting smoking. I'm sure they'd understand.
