Let's Talk Self-Talk

And I thought I was only one walking around the house having conversation with myself. I have 2 dogs and a cat so I talk to them and tell them how I am not going to smoke. I also think of my stats here and want to keep adding days to it. Hang in there and in about 2 weeks we can start a one month parade. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/21/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 13 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 265 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $84.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 53

I always tell myself, "smoking won't solve anything, I'll only feel worse afterwards." And it works every time.

OK, so I've been realizing these past few days, that the major cravings I have are during late afternoon, leading up to dinner time. And also realized that what stops them for me is self-talk. I say, "I'm wanting a cigarette, but I don't really WANT it, because I don't smoke. I'm a non-smoker." I was curious as to what others say, and sure enough, I ran into this one by Lady J [quote] "Smoking is not an option". [/quote] Anybody else want to share their gems of self-talk? 'cause I'm getting bored talking to myself with the same old thing...lol [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 12 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 487 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $81.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37
