Hey up, Kev. You're a very strong guy to have hung on to your Quit the way you have since I've been online when I consider the obstacles I know that you've had to climb over to get here. Well done and looking forward to hearing more from you Patrick [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/18/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 66 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,650 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $742.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

I probably shouldn't point fingers, since I gave up a 5 month quit and then smoked for 4 more years, but.... you said: **** [quote] You see I am doing the work of 4 people at the moment. When people leave, nobody takes their place but the work doesn't go away, it just gets handed down. [/quote] **** So, I just wanna point out that if you are indeed doing the job of 4 people, when would you find time to smoke? If you smoked only 1 pack per day, in 8 hours that's, say 12 x 10 minutes minimum = 2 hours out of your work day in which NOTHING GETS DONE except feeding an addiction. Mmmmmmk?

Thanks for the lovely posts and Happy Easter to one and all (who celebrate it). Hope you got loads of lovely chocolate eggs. Greger, I am scared of heights so you don't get me looking over cliffs.

Yo Kev! Quit yer whining you know you aint gonna smoke. It's like standing on the edge of a tall tall cliff, it's just so tempting to jump off and fly fly fly like a bird...but you know the landing is gonna seriously suck. *Grins* Greger [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/17/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 219 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,256 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $919.80 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 40 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 5 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

Kev, Happy Easter to you! It's so good to come here after my long abscence and see you smoke free no matter how many doubts you still have. I think all us addicts have restrictions on what we allow ourselves to do until we get really comfortable in our quits. There are many triggers for us to face down. Some occur daily, others only pop up once but most are only once in a while. We must face each individual trigger one at a time until we can be sure we won't give in. Then we have to keep our guards up for the one-time-only triggers. You are not alone in feeling this way. Stand back for a minute and look at your stats ... you are doing so great!!! Each day smokefree really is a great day! I'm proud of you. :) Pat [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 420 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 16,800 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $5,880.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 51 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 52 [B]Seconds:[/B] 8

Ok, I just finished writing (0900h to 1730) and then see I have some more friends check in. I think I probably always will doubt myself with every crisis that occurs. I still don't trust myself and have had some very close calls. I make it this far by having some tight restrictions on what I do. I don't go out shopping on my own, I don't watch tv in case I might see a smoking advert (anti smoking advertising makes me want to smoke). If I am not at work, which is mainly where I am nowadays, then I am asleep and probably dreaming about smoking again. I guess if the old saying goes that 'if you're thinking this much about smoking 254 days in then quitting really isn't for you' then I could just be prolonging my pain. You guys always have more faith in me than I do in myself it seems. Sue, go for them eggs. Maybe get john to take some expert shots with his camera?! :) I might attempt to take some photos too for you. BC, MMmmmmmmwwahh! Yes, I miss both places at the moment. If you could convey the message that the kev server is currently down for maintenance and will be back quadruple posting soon then that would be great. Unhooked, Anna and Mark must be wondering where the heck I got to too! Anyway gotta go. We are looking after Grace, which has cheered up my day off no end.
