[b][color=Teal]Your doing a great job![/b][/color]
The habit part is a tough one. But be careful not to let your mind wonder..... You have to make new habits in old places. Each time you confront those triggers, makes it that much easier the next time.
[b][color=Maroon]Whatever you do, don't give in.[/b][/color] It is a law that you get 2 breaks and a lunch if you are working 8 hours or longer a day. Walking is a great option. Continue on that.

Knowledge of what I was dealing with was fundamental.
Support from the people on this site was crucial.
The realisation that I was not giving anything up was a revelation.

I agree.
A positive attitude with help you remain quit.
Attitude is 99% of your quit. It's all how you look at the big picture.

I felt, and still feel the same way. I have not had to battle against my addiction. Now, life is another story, but..........
I welcomed the sh#% that came with my quit. I knew for every bad thing that was happening to me, was for a very good reason. I was healing from years of abuse. I embraced my troubles and my joys, and took them for what they were. Then I let them go.
I'm glad you feeling the same. It is a great feeling huh? Keep it up!

Hi Pitstop,
I understand exactly. Re-defining myself without a cancer stick in my hand was, and still is, a challenge.
Each and every day, I accomplish an old task without one of those in my hand! I still take it one at a time though. Its frightening when I know I am about to do something that I usually did with a smoke. But I know it is all in my head. Take walking for instance- I used to smoke while I walked. So now when I get ready for my walk, it still frightens me. A swoop of paranoria goes through my body, much like an adreniline rush. But I now know what to do. I know I will not smoke. So I take a deep breath, several times, grab my water and down some, then grab another one and a handful of my hard candies. Now I am set.
I now control my cravings. They no longer control me. Each time I do the task without a smoke, makes that task a little easier to do the next time. So now, I am doing things non-smoking. This is who I am becomming. This is the new me. I spent 1/2 my life smoking. My childhood is the only time without smoking. It's not like I can refer to life since I was only a child. But I can refer to yesterday, because yesterday I did not smoke.
I hope this helps. But really, I meant to say that I understand. You will re-define yourself, one day at a time. Tomorrow you will be a little different than you are today. Enjoy the ride. This is you now.
