I thought the worse was over :(

Thanks so much for your support. I soooooo need it! I just want to run and hide away sometimes. I had to get out and get more info about the psychological part of this. For me this is all going to be a mind game with myself. Its terrible for this to have so much control over your entire body......but it does. I want to succeed at this more then anything but right now its just one hour at a time. I am choosing not to smoke. correen

Bubba said [quote] By the yard it is hard. By the inch it is a cinch. In other words, do not imagine a total quit forever...imagine a day with out cigarettes. It is as simple as that. The formula for success is right between your ears. [/quote] Those are just the kinds of things i am talking about to play in my head. I had been looking at a year from now......i can not do that! I choose to not smoke today. All smoking items are out of this house. I had already cleaned car and anyplace else that triggered my mind. I kept the cig case with couple because.....oh it doesnt matter they are long gone now. It really brought me down though....that i didnt make it. In some way it is good.....because i dont want to feel like this again. Very disappointing. Trying to pick myself back up and learn from it. This book you all talk about...I am very much interested in the mind manipulating that this habit has. Is that what it is about? I have to be smarter then he is and right now i do not feel that way. Just a bowl of mush. lol Thanks again for your help,Correen

second hand cravings

Bruce your doing really great, keep at it! I have to go to my second personality when it hits me. :8o: I have avoided being around smokers lately. But i smell it a mile away. LOL Sometimes it still smells good to me other times its not so good. Dont know when that goes away?? Correen

I Know i need to exercise... But

Oh Ann you are so not alone! And Darcy i got the same menu you do! Just munching away. I hope that out of the blue i am gonna get motivated to do something other then look at my pc. Ann i dont know about you but i have been kinda just blah lately. Maybe out of the blue we wake up ready to add this to the list of things to do. But for right now that 47 days smoke free looks really really good on you.....pat yourself on the back! Correen

ex-smoker attitudes

How do you think you will be? Will you be a pain in the rear or a *been there* person? As a smoker i always had respect for non smokers.......but i also had respect for the smokers....and was annoyed at the non and/or ex smokers that acted like i had just pulled out i rifle and began shooting. Some people could be really rude and ignorant. That i could not respect. At work, my survey has been that ex smokers are the worse at judging the smokers. The never smoked a day in their life people never said much at all. Well infact my dad quit smoking years ago and he is a nightmare about it. We have to tell him to be still. LOL I know that i will still treat smokers the same as i would anyone. I will not judge them because of choices they make. I will make the choice to be around them or not. This is my trip.....all mine. ;) Correen
