This is driving me crazy

Tom, From your post, it sounds as if you have no problem quitting, you just have a problem staying quit. If you can completely quit for 4 days, you can quit smoking. You�re allowing yourself to go buy a pack whenever you feel rejected or stressed. You have to want to quit more than you want to smoke. Some suggestions: Write down all your reasons for quitting. Read them before going to buy another pack of cigarettes. Make a contract with yourself (this came from Duffis/Bob). Know that you are worth quitting for. You deserve a healthy smoke free life. You will need to learn to cope with stress and disappointments without cigarettes. Find an alternative. Take up Tai Chi � there are some great videos out there. Start a new hobby that takes both hands. Learn relaxation techniques from the net, books, a class. Sometimes being �at wits end� is a good thing. Eventually, you�ll just get fed up with smoking and say, �that�s it � I won�t ever smoke again.� Don�t give up Tom. Quitting will be the best thing you do for yourself. Not cravin', never cavin'.

One Year for the Big Man!

Dear Bob, I reply to celebrations all the time, but this time I just don�t know what to say. You have no idea what your support has meant to me during my quit. I search for your posts and have read every word you�ve written at the SSC. Your strength, wisdom and goodness shine through like a guiding light to those of us who follow. You, dear friend, are the heart of the SSC. Enjoy your day.
