I'm with Tresa about fearing failure...

More concretely I feared a blow up with the ex. That has always been a huge trigger for me that I can't control. Well this week brought a huge blow up--far worse than anything I could have imagined.

So far so good, but this has been the hardest I've had to fight since the first couple of days. I even found myself walking to the store to buy a pack and just have one. Luckily the walk lasted longer than the crave...

My biggest fear was the quit itself. I was afraid of everything, the biggest of all Life. How will I do or cope with anything without a cig? I really thought that I would never enjoy my life or anything in it again. HOW STUPID!! It took some time, but life is great.. I had to struggle just like Tresa, but when you learn you can beat it, it is so much easier. I wish I would have done it sooner.

My biggest fear is that I won't figure out what to replace smoking with...... there's tons of options, but that little addict in me likes to say things like "boring! None of that is as good as a cigarette!" And wonderful chit chat like that. So as I go through these horrible withdrawals, I'm making an ongoing list of things to combat that very real fear.

I also will have to agree with Tresa is that I can't make this quit work again. Maybe that's why I have to prolong it. DJ

I have to agree with Tresa - my biggest fear was failing - so many other areas of my life I have failed and a lot of times I let myself think that I am a failure.
