Mrs. Nick It is indeed worth doing anything you must to maintain your quit. I am very proud of the fact that I have managed to put the cigarettes aside. As I was telling Moss, I know that they where a form of self medication for me. I too used them to "handle stress". But the fact of the matter remains that they where more of an avoidance technique than a method for dealing with life's inevitable difficulties. Yes change is difficult. It is not something that we humans usually pursue. There is a certain comfort in the old and familiar. But in this case, I would say that change is well worth doing anything one must do in order to remain quit. You are doing very well, I know that it can be difficult, but I do hope that you will continue. Eventually, it will get easier. nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 465 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 13,950 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $4,882.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 86 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 46 [B]Seconds:[/B] 19

moss I understand. I know it is hard to isolate the feelings that are just behind the urge to smoke. But in order to quit I had to flip those coins over. I know that I self-medicated for years. The question is why? Well I may never get a full explanation of that. It might be just a bit too scary to go crawling around in my personal netherworld. Besides, I do think that there is a time to be intraspective and a time to be outward looking. I enjoy both states of being, but I know that if I engage in the later, I had best have done enough of the former. I do know that my smoking was based on a pattern of behavour that I had developed over many years. It began in my late teens and really took hold in my 20s. For the most part I used cigarettes to stave off unwanted feelings. However, since I have been quit, I have developed new ways of dealing with those things. One thing I did that was helpful was I began going to a substance abuse therapist when I first quit. He and I still have sessions every other week, and I have found our conversations to be instructive. In any case, hang in there, I know its difficult, but do what ever you must to stay quit. It is worth any effort... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 465 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 13,950 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $4,882.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 86 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 19

Hi Nonic. Great post as allways, I have been doing the soul searching to. That is what lead me to quit in the 1st place. I started by changing some of my other bad habbits like 20 cups of coffee, not eating in the morning and than eating composivly, procrasination. It seems the more small changes I made in my life the more I felt I could change. I had tried to quit in the past but all ways started again when ever I had a stressful event happen in my life. I now know that I am in controll of my life and it is ok to have hard times and it is ok to have what I call dark days. Dark days are days that I feel down for no apparent reason. It is normal for me to have stress, because I have made a life for myself that I love but that is very stressful. I know try to look at stressful events as God's way of helping me to grow into the person that he made me to be. As for my dark days, these are Gods way of telling me it is time to take care of my self that day. In the pass I have always been a yes person and then after to many yeses I would brun out. I now never say yes untill I have time to think it over 1st. Then I only say yes if it is something I enjoy doing ,or if I feel it is improtan for me to do. Well I have gone on a tangent again. Nonic allways makes me think. All I know is that it is not ok to take even 1 puff of a smoke. No matter what the nicodemon tells me. If I so much as take 1 puff I know that I will continue to jestify untill I am smokeing a pack or more a day. It was hell quiting the 1st week and I am not going to do it again. :) Thanks guys for being here, Stay strong, and don't give up the quit.

Nonic just checking in with you. I've been doing some more soul searching and have been able to identify a couple of those reasons that you speak of so often. Emotive smoker??? Yup, big time. One area I am working on is not just sitting here waiting for the bliss to jump in my lap. I have to go get it. I'm not quite sure just where it is but looking for it will keep me busy I guess. Congrats to you Nonic..........You have not spent almost 5 grand on cigs. Wow. Thats a waker-upper!!!

moss: Just hang in there. Being rid of cigarettes in your life is beyond value. But I know it is a hard addiction and there are many hills and valleys along the way. I am glad to see that you are doing the right thing and working with your doctor on the depression issue. That is the absolute correct thing to do. My heart goes out to you on this situation. I know that I was a self-medicator and the cigarettes kept some problems disguised. I have dealt with a great many of those issues in my own way. And so will you. Just be smart about the whole thing and always err on the side of caution. Just keep us up on your progress. Ain't nothing better than having a whole lot of people around who are on your side... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 462 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 13,860 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $4,851.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 86 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 9 [B]Seconds:[/B] 17
