Flipping coins *(for my good friend Moss)

Hi Nonic. Great post as allways, I have been doing the soul searching to. That is what lead me to quit in the 1st place. I started by changing some of my other bad habbits like 20 cups of coffee, not eating in the morning and than eating composivly, procrasination. It seems the more small changes I made in my life the more I felt I could change. I had tried to quit in the past but all ways started again when ever I had a stressful event happen in my life. I now know that I am in controll of my life and it is ok to have hard times and it is ok to have what I call dark days. Dark days are days that I feel down for no apparent reason. It is normal for me to have stress, because I have made a life for myself that I love but that is very stressful. I know try to look at stressful events as God's way of helping me to grow into the person that he made me to be. As for my dark days, these are Gods way of telling me it is time to take care of my self that day. In the pass I have always been a yes person and then after to many yeses I would brun out. I now never say yes untill I have time to think it over 1st. Then I only say yes if it is something I enjoy doing ,or if I feel it is improtan for me to do. Well I have gone on a tangent again. Nonic allways makes me think. All I know is that it is not ok to take even 1 puff of a smoke. No matter what the nicodemon tells me. If I so much as take 1 puff I know that I will continue to jestify untill I am smokeing a pack or more a day. It was hell quiting the 1st week and I am not going to do it again. :) Thanks guys for being here, Stay strong, and don't give up the quit.

Hi, from a 45 year smoking vet

Hi fnd, Welcome to our group. You come to the right place. We are all here to help each other. I was a 30 year smoker. The 1st week was hard. I fond that ice water helps a lot. I have to do a lot of self talking and reframing, but it is wroth it. I love not smokeing. I don't have to go out back to light up like a druggie. I don't smell like an ash tray, I have more energry, and I love giving myself rewards for not smoking. the 1st 2 weeks I gave myself a small reward like bath oil, candels, a book. now I give my self weekly rewards. It is nice to celabrate the quit. You have the 1st week in and that is one of the hardest. Good for you. Take a look at the info in your glove compartment. I fond it great, This site has made all the differns between just anether quit and me becoming a non-smoker for life. Stay strong and keep your quit.
