Thank you all for your posts in this thread, I think I have been romancing the idea of smoking over the weekend and today, so I really needed to read this! I will stay on SSC all day, or as long as I can here at work, and keep reading!

Have a beautiful day guys!

I agree totally Stickin to it. Isn't it good to know that every inch of your life no longer depends on a smoke and in fact now, it's just plain nasty. Gone are those days...YEEESS!!

Great visual Patrick.

I thought about that just the other day, Stickin'!

I deliberately visualized myself sitting with a beer and a pack of cigarettes looking over a lake in the sunshine and, at first, it seemed like a pleasant thing to do, but, the more I "sat" there in my mind the more I could smell the smoke and the collection of butts in the ashtray and that stink wafting up into my nostrils and how I was clearing my throat too much again: raising my stinking nicotine fingers to cover my mouth in a facsimile of politness, and how the beer tasted like crap and that there was a little bit of ash in the bottom of the glass...

That the clouds were darkening the sun and the wind off the lake had turned cold and my shorts were flapping in the breeze... the whole scenario died a terrible death in my mind.... I stepped on a cold cucumber sandwich when I turned back to the damp log cabin. It was starting to drizzle and I looked back at my Laurentian chair and saw the pack of cigarettes. I kept on going and let the rain destroy the pack... that's what "having a smoke" means to me now... all downer stuff....

I was glad to think that I never have to do that again....

You know the longer that you stay away from smoking, the more you realize you don’t really want to get caught up in the smoking trap never, ever again. And if fact you find out that you don’t really want to put that smoke up to your lips and suck that smoke down deep into your lungs and then exhale. Thinking about that makes me dizzy , heck I’m naturally a dizzy guy anyway!

I would like all of you to know that you have touched my life in a positive way; you truly do put a big smile on my face, see . God bless all of you.

There are so many things we can do now without having that smoke get in our way. Why I can sit down at my desk, focus and concentrate and find a solution to a problem without what ? Without one of those little things burning up beside me in the ash tray, smoke rising finding my right eye .

I wish all of you a smoke free life. And if you can’t find a good enough reason to quit, then go ahead and just do it for me. Make my day, be !

Always,

Stickin To It
