Alright! We can do this the hard way or the easy way

thanks all for the wisdom and insight!

the demon is on the shoulder all right. I must agree that is the worst part. Getting off nicotine I think would be a snap if it wasn't for the demon perched at my ear.

Anyone got a sling shot?

Cheers!

Glad to hear you both are doing well. Keep up the great work. You're both doing great.

Mr Q

P.S - Sorry about your back. Maybe a nice reward would be a professional massage.

Thanks Jay

My back is alot better today and you are doing great. I don't want to smoke but am realising the way addiction gets a hold mostly I feel it's changing the way I react to situations. I'm using the patches just now, but feel with all the support of this site I will make it.

Lola hope your back gets better and your right smoking would not make it better. And I really like comparing the flu and smoking both are bad.

I was having to work with people smoking all day today loading and unloading. It was really hard and had thoughts about buying some but kept telling myself no no it's not worth it. I don't want to repeat the 1st week ever again. Some days you think wow this is better maybe it's over then all of a sudden crave after crave. But don't get the flu again lol.

Thank you Mr Q,

I like the way you put it, I will think of smoking as the flu now and no one wants the flu or misses the flu.

I've been doing ok, but today I have a sore back and it's making me feel down. I used to smoke to change the way I felt and I think my unconscious mind is telling to have a cigarette, but I know that cigarettes don't make anything better they just make them worse. So no matter what happens I'll get through it without a smoke. I hope my back gets better soon.

Thanks for being there all of you.

Luv lola

Thank you all for sharing. No matter what way we look at this it's still one of the hardest things we'll ever do and you've all got a lot of guts for standing up to this addiction. Keep up the great work. We are all so very proud of all of you.

Yes Mr Q

I was having a hard time until I learned that same thing since then it has been alot easier and getting easier everyday. I learned how smoking doesn't help stress it adds stress. Some will say that a smoke after a meal taste so good. Ummm 20 in a pack don't they all taste nasty really. I was craving them because like you said I thought I was missing something until I learned the truth. I learned this from members here. And searching for information from people here. I don't miss smoking anymore and beating the craves has become easier and I can now walk confidently into a truck stop and stand at the counter and look at all those packs and cartons back there and honestly say I'm glad I don't need them anymore.

I have to walk past people by the door and in some they still allow smoking everywhere inside. I can walk through them and say I bet they wish they could quit.

I got to tell my wife today that I would have my Hell Week award today. She was excited and couldn't believe it. I told her she could log into my account and go to my blog and see it. Made me proud. I can honestly say bring on heck week. I'm not missing anything so I know I will get through it.

But thanks for posting your wisdom so more can learn how to make it easier. When you learn it it really is easier.
