Choices

Hi Butterfly, thanks for the great post.I totally agree with you. We must keep in mind that we are ultimately the ones that are choosing to smoke or not. I too get so sad when I see people lose their quits. I have had it affect my feelings in my own abilities to stay quit. But that takes us back to your words .... TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN QUIT!!! I have, and I will continue to do so.

Quit Family Member

Thanks Lady for letting us know. I have been wondering, worrying and missing her. I wasn't sure the proper etiquette for saying that on this site. Please give her my best wishes when you talked to her again. I hope her grandad-in-law comes through o.k. and she comes back soon.

My thoughts on pre quit date

You have very quickly hit on maybe one of the most important things I found out early on in my quit. That is to focus on getting through 1 minuite at a time, 1 hour at a time, etc. To think of no cigs forever can be very overwhelming at times, so this is a much more achievable goal. It's one way I got through the first few weeks. Good for you on cutting back, it's a good start.

Ash Kickers, Come Strut Your Stuff!!!!

HealerWithin, I just went to the Knights Final Tally post and I see you there as a knight. lol. I guess you now have dual citizenship in our United Nations. lol. I don't want to bring up bad news to you Knights, but our Ash Kicker list use to be that long too. It is so sad to see how many we have lost. It just goes to show just how hard this quitting thing can be. Keep Strong everyone.
