Good for you Judy.. You are well on your way to recovery. 48 days is awesome. Get your coping skill in order my dear. You are not out of the woods yet. There are several triggers and challenges that you will experience along this journey. You need to be prepared and armed with coping mechanisms to get you through the tough times. I think you are doing great! Keep up the good work. You are absolutely right! It is all about CHOICE!

Just one little word of advice for you. Nico may well return with the line that "it wasn't the cig that made you ill, it was because you had the flu" Try it again now and see. [size=4] Don't bite for that one. [color=red] that is a lie straight out of the pit.[/size][/color] You can throw that out without any head thought at all.

If you read my post from Monday, you'd know I was at war with the Nicodemon. Barely coping one minute, I bounced back thinking I had it all together.....then hiccup. It felt like someone was in possession of my body and my soul. I was in pain and I felt like I could no longer fight. I just didn't have the strength. I could not cope and I felt terrible. I bought a pack of smokes, and as I was opening them, tears dripped on the package. "Don't do it", I said "You've already done it" he/she said. "It won't make you feel better", I said. "You won't know unless you try", he/she said. So I did it. I lit the cigarette. After two drags he/she was gone. But I felt worse. I was more nauseated than I already was, more dizzy than I already was. But that monkey was gone. Two more drags and I threw it out the window along with the pack. NO F*****G WAY. What I realized later, after being completely immobilized for 8 hours by nausea & vomiting, that I was suffering from the stomach flu. I have spent many hours in bed the last two days, too weak to do anything but think about what happened and what went wrong. During this quit, I have not replaced smoking with anything. No straws, no candies, no gum, no food. Maybe a few showers here and there. For the most part, all I have done is think, think, think. I have not really be challenged or tested until Sunday/Monday and I came to the conclusion I really don't have any replacements to cope with anger and anxiety. I have been waiting for the time in my quit when I could feel comfortable letting the focus go for a bit. To think about something else for awhile. Well I guess I know what I have to think about now. Anger Management skills and Anxiety Management skills. I still have triggers constantly throughout the day, but they are just fleeting thoughts - 5 seconds or less. But it is these emotional triggers that I have trouble with. Reading and learning about how to cope with these is what I must do. I am calling this a hiccup instead of a slip because I don't believe I was in my right mind at the time. Also, I know that reseting my meter at this point would probably do me more harm than good. If I'm going to reset my meter, I want more than a few drags to make it worth that. Honest quit

Hey Judy glad I got here before Golferman (LOL private joke) Here is what I think about the whole thing: [center][IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1/jrduffis/needahug.jpg[/IMG][/center] As a veteran of this quit process I can tell you that there are stumbling blocks along the way. Some are hum-dingers and others are just fleeting thoughts. Stop thinking. Yes I said "stop thinking" just do it. The only focus is N.O.P.E. It does get easier as time goes on and thats a fact jack. There are beautiful days on the horizon and when they arrive enjoy them. The support here at the SSC is outstanding, people really care and will offer whatever help they can give. You are 48 days quit!! why stop now you got this thing beat so start believing in your self. You cope and deal with things through determination and the will to succeed. Your little episode with the psyco-nico was a good lesson; leave it at that and get on with your life and quit. :) Duffis duffis's Quit Stats Since Sunday, February 13, 2005, I've been smoke-free for: 346 Days, 15 Hours, 48 Minutes, 14 Seconds. I have saved $1,453.20 by not smoking 10399 cigarettes. By not smoking I have added 75 Days, 2 Hours, 22 Minutes, 10 seconds. to my life expectancy.

You learned a lesson....and you still HAVE those days you didn't smoke.....your meter is YOUR meter....you do what works for you...doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Developing coping skills is VERY important when you quit. The anger and depression, the triggers....it's all very real and difficult to conquer....the comping skills will be ways in which to distract and delay....not only the actions, but the "thinking" as well. You also need a reward program...rewards both big and little..they don't have to be costly....they need to deal with making you FEEL good about yourself and relating it directly to having NOT smoked. Something as simple as some time to yourself can be a reward. and 48 days is awesome.....it WILL get easier the further you go Katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1482 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 59,305 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $8151 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 193 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9
