Hi Penguin,
When I read your statement �I had every intention of not smoking, and it is that intention that helped me through�, I remembered 2 other great statements from SSC members that have stayed with me. One was from Mirbah. It is beautiful in its simplicity: �BREATH - it is important. Sometimes all you can do is say, yes, I want a smoke, and no, I am not having one now. N.O.P.E. not one puff ever.� Isn�t that just perfect? It�s everything you need. The other is from Newbkr: �YOU�RE NOT MAKING A DECISION WHETHER TO SMOKE WITH EACH CRAVING. THE DECISION GETS MADE ONCE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO NOW IS WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THAT DECISION. YOU KNOW IT�S THE RIGHT DECISION. DO NOT LET A CRAVING MAKE YOU DOUBT IT.� It was a take off from a statement in a book she�d read on training for a marathon, but fits just about everything.
Congratulations on your 30 days. There is nothing HO HUM about keeping your quit for 30 days � especially with some of the trials you�ve faced. Hurray for you!
Not cravin', never cavin'.
Hummy
