Joe,
Perhaps for some, the goal is all encompassing. But for others, including myself, we have to actively decide to not think about smoking. For me, it became a seperate goal. In the beginning, all I could handle was being smoke free (and at times, that one was too much of a goal!), so being smoke THOUGHT free as well, at least in the beginning, was out of the question! I remember making the goal to try to not think about smoking anymore. It was probably about 6 months after my last slip. So what I'm saying is that for some, one goal doesn't cut it. We need to handle one aspect of quitting at a time - first being smoke free, and then second becomming smoke thought free as well. Some may be able to lump it all together, but others need to cut the goal into chunks. And then of course, the third goal (at least for me now) is losing the quit weight! :| Like I said before, the goal constantly changes! :confuse:
Crave the Quit!
