Don't quit quitting and you will get it right! Remember to take one step at a time. Sometimes quitting takes practice.

Stress with my husband (usually much agrandized because of my withdrawal)during my my attempted quits kept me falling off the wagon and failing for nearly twenty years. Beware. Decide you want this more than anything else. Decide that no matter WHAT life throws your way, you will keep your resolve. Imagine the very worst and most stressful thing that you could experience, the worst news that you could hear, the most hurt or devastated you could feel.....then PREPARE and imagine yourself going through it smoke-free. What will you do instead? Your old coping skill was to smoke. What will it be this time? Believe me. If life does not throw something your way, you will CREATE a reason to start smoking again. What is your choice?

slivers, Don't build this in your head into something it is not. Keep a sense of proportion. Those capital letters that you use come across to me as bawling, screaming, kicking! I may be wrong. Please try to put some calm on matters and treat each issue on its merits; do not let them snowball together. Smoking? Wanna quit? Ok, don't light up in the next five minutes and if you are successful, do it for the next five minutes and so on � and, don't mix the issues!!! You CAN do this, but ONLY if you REALLY want to. Good Luck Penitent d997

Judy.....your failure isn't about family stress, your daughter, etc. when you stumbled, where did you get the cigarettes? and after the slip, letting yourself down....why are you waiting almost a week to begin again?.....to me the answers are real simple....you have let your addiction take back the control. You are listening to the junky instead of thinking for yourself. All of your reasoning, is merely making lame excuses to give yourself a "fix". How bad do you want to stop? It has to be worse than you want to smoke. that "want" has to hold through your cravings. That "want" will drive you to make plans of how you will handle the cravings (taking a walk, taking a shower, taking a nap, slugging a pillow, digging a hole in the back yard!) ANYthing but reaching for the smoke. Get up and get back on the horse NOW....you don't need to WAIT....every smoke you light reinforces the control that the junky has taken. He's sitting back, secure with his fix, laughing at your so called "getting ready".....give yourself the present NOW Katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1862 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 74,518 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10613.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 245 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 34
