Gonna... that is a great idea. I've done yoga. I'll put together a plan of some yoga things I can do, and I'll ask my yoga teacher friend for some that I can just do in my office. Walking is also an option. We have an indoor track that should be available at noon. I just hate to do the all out sweat thing at lunch time! I'm an all or nothing person, if you can't tell... I had to be told to just do something a little lighter! lol Thanks!

Thanks Sparky... this first week of school is tuff, with or without cigs. I'll be okay. I do need to change the lunchtime routine though, and I think that will help. I won't smoke. That would just make me witchier! NOPE for me!

I also got some nice flavors of hot teas. Hot tea just seems like a comfort drink.
I love rocky road too! I don't let myself buy the ice cream, because I have an addictive personality (duh), and I would end up having to have it every night for the next 10 years.
The little doves are a little treat I've had around the house for several years. :)

This week I am going to try to think about not rushing and assuming things. Time is a most precious thing and to have more of it is one of the reasons I quit. If I spend it rushing from one thing to the next then I am bound to missing things. The target is not to cram as much experience as I can in to my time but to make sure the time I do have is used wisely and that I get the most out of it that I can.

Are all smokers in a hurry?

I just read your second post, Imallclear. Before I smoked, in the land of dinosaurs, (can I really remember that far back?), I don't think I had the "hurry up" feeling, but I was always busy and can move from one thing to another, and am a "get it done" type person. It sounds like you are the same. When you add smoking to that type of personality, I think it turns into HURRY HURRY HURRY. Thanks for your reply.
Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Imallclear... I wanted more of your posts as well! I think you were kidding in your last post... weren't you? I find this subject interesting, but then I have to analyze everything! Geez! I appreciate you responding back to my question, and I always love your humor!!

Yes, I did too, Imallclear. Then they grow up and go away, and you have time for things, but your mind is still in a hurry. It's weird.

Thanks to you all for answering this. I think we have lived our lives in a hurry because of the way we thought as smokers. I didn't realize this until I came here and saw other people's comments here and there. I've always been the most energetic person in the world (was skipping the other day) (no, not on any other drugs either). But along with the energy comes that need to hurry. I can't stand listening to people who talk slow. I want to finish their sentences for them. (have been known to do it, but usually restrain myself) This hurry-up is a bunch of crap. That's probably the part I'm struggling with and want to figure out as much as anything. It's part of a smoking personality I believe. I think a person can quit smoking, but unless they consciously change their behaviors and do away with the smoking personality (I can't type fast enuf here, for myself) (kidding), they have a greater risk of going back to smoking. For every crave, I have been attacking what caused the crave and tried to figure it out, instead of worrying about the crave itself. With me, it's that "hurry" thing. There are times I have been able to slow down (far and few between), and the feeling is much nicer, and calm, where life is just peaceful and good and all feels right with the world. Random thoughts from me again...
