Wow.....I can't wait until I have made it as far as you have. Our mind is a very powerful thing and I too struggle with the self image thing...weight is a HUGE issue for me but I am taking it a day at a time. You are an inspiration to us all...thanks for sharing those words of wisdom....DON'T be to hard on yourself.

Your office sounds fantastic River. (Except for the smell but that is so temporary.) I wish I could send you some of my air - I live in the bush surrounded by eucalyptus trees. I am very lucky, and it's worth the travel to work. I could fly you in some virtual air. ;) On my virtual jet! lol You're doing great work!! cheers :) Alison Kick the Herb to the Kerb [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/16/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 42 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,289 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $525 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 12 [B]Seconds:[/B] 19

AWESOME STATS RD!!! You must be enjoying the beach! :) I am so glad that your quit is super strong. You've come a long way and I can relate to everything you said here. Being gentle with your self is SO important. I am glad you are doing that, because we all need to do that. We really are restructuring our lives here. Everything we did was structured around smoking. It does take time to put those pieces back together without the smoke. It is and continues to be a trip for me too, but by and by I am better each day too. Many Blessings and Continued Success to you!

Working, Stretching, molding, forming the new us. This is taking us places that we haven't been in many, many years or maybe never before. New determination is a inhalation of Grace - take it and run with it. Keep it in your heart. Renew it everyday. I'm so glad that you are doing better my fellow knight!

So in part three I was with how I feed myself, part four seems to be about my self image. If I can balance it out so that I am feeling okay about my image I can be okay. If I am dwelling in how much I weight, if I am thinking about over weight, under weight, short, hair, teeth whatever it is excrutiating ... if I am okay with exactly how I am I will am usually fine. If I am picking at myself I will for sure be toying with the desire to smoke. This is just information and tells me that I need to be extra gentle with myself. Not to lie to myself and most certainly not to beat myself over the head for what I can do or not. All of this takes time, precious, wonderful and glorious time. AHHH the reworking of a habit, the pieces of a life without nicotine. MMMMMM Hmmmm Thats were I am today. The desire to smoke has been better, like less than, especially in the last few days and I have not been as stressed as I was. All kinds of factors and the most important is to stay in the moment, work here in the present doing the best that I can do and leave the rest for leftovers. No smoking, fewer thoughts of smoking and a lot less tortured. Cheers Phillip :) Oh and by the way PEACE!

I have to say this. I can't keep it. I have been working for days on getting my new office very nice painting, cleaning the hard wood floors, new lighting and new sinks. I left at 6:00 tonight leaving the plumber and his helper there. I went back on my way home from work at 10:00 and the had smoked inside.YYYYUUUUUGGGHHHHH. I will go and air it out tomorrow and it was so fresh and nice. Poor poor place, needs fresh air bad, I should fly it in!!!!! Oh well. The plumbing is all working now and the new fixtures look very nice. Always having to flip to the other side. I hate that they smoked while I wasn't there and I will repair the damage tomorrow no point in doing anything but repair the damage. Just had to say this cause I didn't want to smoke, the putrid smell was awful. Oh well. Good night.
