All of what Grandma Judy says in her post? I'd like to second that and apply for the copyright.

N2Psych-welcome back! I often wondered what happened to you. I remember you live aaaround Stockton and I'm up the road in Sacramento. It sounds like you have it all together this time. The hardest part is over so you better stick it out. Those parrots will be happy too. Plan for unexpected stresses and have some rewards ready. You know the routine. Read, post, and pretty soon it will be a thing of the past. At least that is what they say. I still get the junkie thoughts but if there are no cigs around I can do it. Got to protect my teeth for alll the money I've put out for root planing, 2 crowns and my diligent brushing flossing and waterpiking.

Well it's about time you got back in here!!!LOL I knew it was you right away. Congratulations on 52 days. Fantastic D. And you know what. I still battle that voice that says....'you can quit again'.

Good Morning, My quit date was January 9th, 2008. I have 52 days completely smoke free today. I have been here to this site before and have been to 52 days before, as well. I am not as excited about the days as I am about the relative serenity I am experiencing most days, if I continue to affirm my decision to quit, and silence that stupid voice in my head that says otherwise. I am using Chantix, which makes it almost easy except that I keep thinking if it's so easy, why not do it another time? And then I have to remind myself how many "another times" I've done this, so THIS time I am doing it differently. I am not allowing myself to dewll on the possibility of "going back", because as the serenity prayer says, "grant me the courage to control the things I can", I have to accept that this IS a thing I CAN control, if I keep choosing to do so. I am going to be 54 in May, and I plan to be a little over 5 months quit at that time. I am a grandmother, a psych tech (hence the nickname) full time for more than 20 years, I own my own gardening company, I have been married for 17 years, and we have parrots. You may have known me as ParrotLady another time. For now, I am going to try taking care of me and not others, although that's tough in my line of work! I hope to get here at least once a day, but am quite busy this time of year with both jobs and hubby and the birds; I will post when I can. That's all I can think of for now, except congrats to all the quitters! N2Psych [quote] God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. [/quote]
