Hello Friends
I�m glad that you have made it here to this website. There are lots of strong willed and able people on this web site to help you stay the course with your quit. I would like to point out and congratulate two of these people in this writing, Marie and Darcy.
Both Marie and Darcy have 43 day quits going. Simply wonderful! That is over 1000 hours. I suspect that both Marie and Darcy have been very busy over the course, denying themselves something that they thought they treasured. They both have their act together.
Darcy quit was in full test yesterday as noted by her posts.
After 42 days, her quit was tested by stress in her life. She was threatened by an onslaught of heavy urges.
She fought hard and furious against these urges and as of today she is still a go. Her practice of denying herself from day one, gave her the strength to carry her through. Darcy knows her triggers, the events that tell her to light up; she has an urge control plan. Darcy is one strong person and Marie is as well. Congratulations Darcy and Marie on a job well done. You should be feeling really good about yourselves at this moment.
What to do and what not to do
---------------------------------------
Know your triggers; make yourself a toolbox that contains trigger fighters. Do not dwell on the urges, distract yourself, use self talk when the urge strike, �GO AWAY, GO AWAY, DON�T BOTHER ME� GO AWAY, GO AWAY, DON�T BOTHER ME�
Don�t even thing about going back to smoking if you have made it through the first week or so. Don�t do it, it is too hard to go back and do it over again, too hard, don�t do it, too hard, don�t do it.
