Hey Bear... here's a hug. I hear a plea for some reasoning in this life of ours that is never guaranteed, yet can be so fabulous or frightening in just a moments time. Cigarettes or no cigarettes. This whole struggle with booting an old habit from our lives is just plain hard sometimes. It's like barnacles on a whale, but far more dangerous. If it were easy, everybody who smoked would do it eventually. I feel like either a cheerleader, or Eore (the negative donkey:) on this site. I want to be supportive, and I also want to be realistic. I think about these things too. For me, entertaining thoughts of smoking is like lighting a match. It has to go somewhere and I obsess about it. Try to acknowledge your feelings here, and then distract yourself with (gee) a walk or a nice dinner out or something?:) What are you going to do for yourself with the money you've saved so far?:) A trip to the Man's Mall? Hang on.. because it's for you, and you deserve good air and quality life just like anyone else:) I may need you to remind me of these things too someday. We'll make it - and someday I hear we won't even wake up thinking about it!

Yes, we all have done that, haven't we? And some of us still do some dangerous things...not using a seatbelt, for instance, or eating too much salt. I guess we each look into our own lives and see what isn't working for us or isn't healthy or is self-destructive. I think that life is exactly this: trying each day to be a better person, whatever that means to us. Addictive things are harder, for sure.

I know this attitude probably seems illogical Rusty .Why would anyone participate in an activity like smoking that is so dangerous to your health but is is realy anymore dangerous than some of the things we injest every day :quest: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/20/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 127 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,286 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,270.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 29 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 23 [B]Seconds:[/B] 33

Bear, I don't think this is inappropriate, but rather an interesting discussion topic. There are times when I have said to a person "Perhaps now is not the right time for you to quit." It is a difficult thing to say to someone, but I do believe that sometimes it relieves the pressure a little and lets the person step back and take their time. It's up to the individual whether they want to continue smoking, of course.

This post may come up as inappropriate and i'm sure if it do'es the nice young ladies at SSC will respond accordingly.The medical profession is very quick to respond to our aches ,pains and illnesses with your handy dandy prescription.If you suffer from anxiety attaches,hang nails,dandruff,constipation we have a pill for you .Some of the people on this site have shown a lot of difficulty,personality and behavioral adjustments withdrawing from a substance called nicotine.Some have even wondered out loud whether it was ideed worth the sacrifice to quit smoking.So I wonder do you think that there are people among us that should remain smokers.I know this flies in the face of what this site is all about I just wondered. :quest: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/20/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 127 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,286 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,270.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 29 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9
