of course you can keep your confidence - you are seeing the truth and you are doing great. Knowledge IS power. Don't forget a reward for kicking Hell week's Ash... keep fightin' the good fight - fish :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/21/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 392 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 11,776 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1960 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 52 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 39 [B]Seconds:[/B] 56

Well, well, well... just look at those wings fluttering! You don't sound one bit cocky to me. Sounds as if you have finally found the determination to get through this awful addiction! Don't let anything or anyone stop you. You keep right on going just like you are! Congratulations!

I am 1 Week, Yup 7 days Smoke Free! WHOOO HOOO!!!!! I have been here before, many times. I feel different this time though. [center]I FEEL GREAT!!!!![/center] Desire - 0 Craves - 3 Triggers & thoughts - some to lots. Not overwhelming by any means....definately manageable. The triggers and thoughts are acknowledged and then dismissed - IMMEDIATELY. I give them none of my attention - NEXT!!!! The craves I have had, I think, have been emotionally based. Can't remember the first 2 (they were at the beginning of the week), but yesterday I had one when I did not receive a job offer - REJECTION. "I need a smoke." That thought stopped me right in my tracks and I dealt with it right then & there. "You do not need a smoke to get through this. OK, so it didn't go the way you wanted. How will smoking help? NOT!! You will still feel sad, you will still fee resentful. Sure, you may forget you feel this way - for 5 minutes. But those feelings will return, and guess what? - You will also feel guilt, remorse and hate yourself because....you smoked.....SLAVE." That lasted about 3 minutes and then it was over. I moved on quickly. Do I resent not being able to smoke? NO Do I miss it? NO Will I smoke again? NO [center]NO DOUBT!!!!!![/center] Someone said to me - "Don't be too cocky." Well Ol Nic tried that route already this week - to shake my confidence. Tried to sneak in the back door whispering - "You can't keep this level of confidence for long. You've never been able to do that before. Just a matter of time. It's the patches." I SLAMMED THE DOOR! BACK OFF BOOGAALOO!!!! YOU HAVE STOLEN MY COURAGE, SELF ESTEEM & CONFIDENCE FOR 27 YEARS!!! [center]I'M IN THE DRIVERS SEAT NOW!!![/center] Anyone want to ride with me???? Stay true Stay strong.
