Breaking up is hard to do!

JoDee, I loved your post. Actually, it helped me very much in another area of my life...something that happens to be a smoking trigger... so I'm really glad that you shared! :)

New here

Hi bookster and welcome. :) I'm glad that you have the time and space to make this quit happen. I'm thankful that I have a solitary job so that, like you, I can focus on the quit. Keep on truckin'!

Brenda, I hear you loud and clear on the humility. It really is a humbling experience to let myself go and realize that I will have cravings. It's kinda like riding the tide instead of fighting it. First, ya gotta let go...

I need some help about this program

Hiya Fran. :) I really liked doing the preliminary steps of this program. I thought that it really prepared me for a long-term quit. Even if I didn't have all the answers right then, I could sleep on them and it made a difference. Good luck to you! There are lots of awesome people here and information, too!

cold turkey!

Hiya folks. :) Everyone doing OK?

JoDee, you look much younger than 50, and I'm willing to bet that you're going to look even younger now that you've quit.

Eya, I got inspired by your reaction to the news, so I decided to intentionally watch tearjerker movies or listen to tearjerker songs...that way, all that stress and pent-up energy gets washed out when *I* want it to!

Shevie, you hit my junkie on the head. She's just making excuses. So today I decided to treat myself to some nice, healthy snacks, some new shampoo (Suave professionals, hehehe) and a few other things that I wasn't buying because I wanted to save as much money [for cigarettes] as I could.

So yeah... I'm doing OK. For some reason I've been postponing a nice, hot shower with the new shampoo for a good 13 hours now. There's a lot of truth to the "undeserving" feeling, and I aim to nip that in the bud this weekend! That's my goal.

Stay well everyone!

cold turkey!

Thanks Aloha! :) It's black raspberry and white tea. Soooo good... you said you liked berries, so I think you would like it, too. The jury is still out on how well it cares for my color, though. I also bought some "hair mud" to go with the new 'do, but then it wouldn't wash out! So I shampooed with the new stuff, then again with a clarifying shampoo, got my Irish Spring soap bar, then finally did the new shampoo + conditioner again...

The short version is that my hair went from a natural ash blond to a very bright blond... and that I need to stop messing with it while under the influence of alcohol and PMS!

LOL

Since my "spa day" didn't work out so well yesterday, I'm doing "take two" today. Thanks for recommending that thread. It has such awesome reward ideas!

The Unsmokeables

Congratulations (belated) on 6 years. I'm with Shevie and what he said in his Feb 9th post... You said that February is your month...so is mine! I'm hoping to be the next graduating class. Thank you for being an inspiration!

Five Year Old Horse!

Belated congratulations on your 5 years! It's awesome to have this kind of inspiration and living proof that this is possible to overcome. Thank you for sharing your success and your wisdom! :)

Charm has 5 months

Charm, I just wanted to say congrats again and that your signature is one of the things/mantras that really helped me. It just clicked... That's right... I DON'T have to do that anymore!

Stay well. :)

Roxie Made a Month!

Oh, cool! Thank you soooo much, Aloha! :)

Yeah, my pampering day kinda flopped, but that's why I get to try again today. And I finally decided to get something really nice and technically free. I'm signing a new, two-year contract with my cell phone provider (I've been with them for 10+ years anyway), which means that I get a new, free mobile phone! It's going to be my first QWERTY, so I'm pretty psyched.
