Re: 1W



Andy, this is just GLORIOUS! Absolutely fabulous! And, you know what,
it isn't a 'this' time, it is the ONLY and LAST time. THat you need NO
more practice. You never want to go through this again, do you?
Because you CAN. YOu can go through the first 5 days again (you've
done it twice). But the thing is you know it is just so hateful. And
there is no way around doing those first 5 days if you decide to pick
up. So, I'd love to hear you say that this is THE time, the LAST time,
that it is OVER.

Retraining yourself after 30 years is going to be huge. Smoking has a
way of infiltrating ever part of our life. Drug & alcohol use is
usually just reserved for 'party times' - whereas smoking is connected
to every emotional state, every transition (from food to preparing back
to work, from sleep to wakening, from starting up on a highway drive
etc). It will indeed take retraining, so don't worry about feeling
addicted still. (I'd worry if you didn't because it would mean you
were in some kind of 'pink cloud' state of denial and would crash
pretty soon.) Post a lot, read a lot, and work it through.

You can do it. You CAN do it. We're here. Lean on us.

One month, four days, 2 hours, 12 minutes and 40 seconds ago I made a
Decision.
Honoring that Decision means an estimated 280 cigarettes I have not
smoked, saving $105.15, not to mention 23 hours, 20 minutes of my life.

Wow,
First time ever I made it to 1W (officially 1W 9H)
The only other time I tried to quit, I made it to 5 days and decided it
was no big deal, so I started to smoke again.
But after 7 days this time, I still feel addicted. I guess after 30+ years
of smoke it will probably take two weeks or more?
Cheers,
Andy
