Hi Lizzie, Totally right about about trying not to think about the summer or spring. The battle is about the here and now. Normally I don't have time to walk much when I am working, but these two weeks are my holiday, so I plan to get in as much walking with music as possible. I am also planning on resting my hand from all that mousing, so very little computers for me. I shall be working mainly on trying to find a way to be positive despite all the negativity around me. In a logical tiny steps way. Mostly I will be trying to distract myself from smoking. Maybe thinking about the positive posts you write. My determination to carve out a few more hours, is still here. My quit is still alive and kicking, bucking the struggle = fail now trend. Yes I have been working on my positivity a lot again :) Not much negative stuff from me today. I will check back in Friday or Saturday to let you know how I am doing. Thanks for the post.

Exercising (fast walking) for 25 minutes a day has been shown to lift mood. I go with my rock music as many mornings as I can - really helps with the stress. Don't worry about the Spring or the Summer, Kev. Just keep it with this week. What are you going to do this week? Lizzie :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]4/23/2003 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1755 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 26,325 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �6,581.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 180 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 48 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

Hi Lizzie, many thanks for the congrats. I am on the way up now. Feeling bright and clear headed. I have been listening to that positivity CD again :D 7 months is a great achievement. Strangely, I am not too keen on creme eggs. However, I like Kinder Eggs. Thinner chocolate and a toy! :) My work colleague has brought in mini-eggs. Which I quite like. Hope you are having a great day Lizzie. I will start a new thread on Saturday as this one is getting long.

Hi Smokerella and Sue. Maybe the easter bunny should pay a vist to your homes. We still find 8 year old eggs in the garden where the easter bunny 'forgot' where he hid them! Sue, sorry for worrying you too much. It does seem that I have been having major troubles coming to grips with life smokefree. But that is not suprising as smoking basically was my life. And even the slightest issue would result me in breaking open a new pack of smokes and going outside and smoking until the issue was over. Its all about learning how to overcome each issue without smoking. Obviously, what happens is that I encounter a slight issue such as being told to smoke, I doubt myself and then my confidence gets floored. Now I guess I could question about whether I am really cut out for this at all and should have given in months ago...but I am not, because it won't help anything and I am on a positivity drive and only supposed to think about positive things. So I ban myself from the following mental statements : 'I am not cut out for this' 'I could fail at any second' I will add to this list as time goes on. Patrick, you're doing really well and sorry for missing your post. Don't worry about the age issue. I may have to work on my self worth I think as I don't really plan on making 40 let a lone 50 or 60. Possibly all this quitting has gone against my live fast die young ideals. This may change in time I guess. Yes, I know I have a lot of work to do on the way I think. The skies are blue, the sun is shining and things really aren't so bad right now. On to the next hour smokefree. This weekend I shall continue re-ripping my entire music collection, which shall keep me occupied. I hope everyone is having a great Friday, wherever they are in the world.

Congratulations on 7 months Kev! Another fab milestone. Are you going to get a cream egg and eat it in front of Sue? Hope you are having a good day today.
