Freedom

I'm sure you will let us know when you get there. It is coming my friend. Any day now you should feel that freedom. I know it seems like it takes forever but the light at the end of that tunnel isn't a freight train. It's an amazing adventure isn't it????

Bear, Are you feeling the freedom from the enslavement of smoking yet? I believe you do. If so, tell everyone how it feels!

When I joined this site I had long since fogotten what it was like to be nicotine free.I also had no preconceived ideas about quitting. I knew very little about addiction, withdrawel,cravings,etc. I was in fact free.Free to learn what this was all about .No I was not free from the addiction but free to learn about it.I believe that this is what got me to where I am today .This approach may not suite everbody but it sura-- is working for me . :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/20/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 156 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,808 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,560.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 35 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 45

I agree with Unhooked. Freedom is an actual side effect, its not the goal, but oh what a wonderful side effect! :) Them 'thangs' are pretty scarey on a bear!

Hello!!!! I agree with your answer...okay both answers. That was my first thought when I read Bear's post. And...I wouldn't blame him if he did. Them thangs are not right.

Well Tom, I know that nobody likes a smarta$$ but I'd rather be one than a dumba$$!! Do you also think that's what Bear means? Or do you think he's just taken his thong off again?

I think I get it, Bear. Are you saying we are free as soon as we choose not to smoke? That freedom is the first benefit we enjoy because we have it as soon as we don't smoke the next one?
