Please...you are so vain...you probably think this posting is about you, about you................
As mentioned, it does sound big. Remember, we all have quit one smoke at a time. Some have just faced that one smoke not smoked more times. To that end, one not smoked is as big as 100,000 not smoked. 15 days without nicotine is like Heaven, believe me.

Nice to see newer folks offering up encouragement to those just beginning. Strength is in the numbers. Together we can do this.

Melanie speaks volumes about the aids available within this site. You make such a casual reference to relapsing. After that much time under your belt I am really interested why you failed. Others need to understand what not to do.
Now, go prepare yourself. Also, why did you set a date such as 2 weeks out from today. No time is better than now. Pay the price and quit. Until you pull the trigger again, you are just playing with this effort.
Lindsey
PS - Good luck

Hey, I will achieve the 100,000th Not Smoked within a few short weeks. I am not sure you will be able to stand me.

Everytime I get a craving flung on me for a smoke, I review my Dangers of Smoking poster. More often than not, the picture of the damaged lung is enough to quell the fear and give me added reinforcement to continue on.

As the past here will tell you...I never lack for wanting to give my opinion. Now, the doctor can treat who he choses. Knowing full well that infact smoking does impair the healing process, the doctor is doing this gentleman a favor by asking him to quit prior to surgery. This happened to me when I drank like a fish and the doctor told me that he would no longer treat me if I continued as he did not want to have me die from internal bleeding. I came home, reflected on his ultimatium and never took another drink. A threat ever once in a while is good for us. Especially when it is well intended as with the good doctor above.
You and I are both living examples that we can quit when we have suffered enough where we are. He can too.

Chief,
You are on the money in how you assess the dream. Experts have long said that the dreams are a healing process in the making. Further, they have always said that it is such a tramatic experience, it reinforces ones quit.
It is good. If you survived the initiation, you can do this.

I do believe you could be a stumping preacher. Your writing about casting aside that monster is strong indeed. Careful here though...cocky is dangerous at this stage. If you are as strong as you indicate, learn learn learn learn about the dangers of smoking. Knowledge is Power. I am with you till you have your permanent quit in hand. That is probably 6 months when you can see it over the horizon. Prior to that...the monster lurks and wants to steal you back. Remember, that monkey is jumping all the time. You just got to keep him jumping on the jerk's back.
I welcome you here and will watch your progress with much anticipation.
