Lady, Letting you know that my thought and prayers are with you. I wish I could get my counselor to you. We all need a day or so of rest, what ever you need to do just do it. You have been so involved with so many of us, I think you forgot to take care of the caretaker. Blessings of light sent your way, SUNSHINE [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/7/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 94 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,607 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $329 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 13 [B]Seconds:[/B] 30

Cigarettes Not Smoked

Lady As someone who started smoking when I was 13 years old I know that there are many pieces of life that I have never experienced. I am so open to having the experiences I missed and giving myself the fullness of life that I am willing to go through the tough stuff, cause I know, I simply know that there will be more good stuff than I have ever experienced before in my life. There is great understanding, wisdom in the words of the post that you quoted. [quote] According to behavior modification, quitting is not reward enough. Learning to appreciate and value ourselves and even to love ourselves is part of the quitting program and of the process of change that is required. [/quote] The above is something that the 13 year old never got to do and that the 49 year old man is just now learning to do. I so much identify with what you have written today and what you have said about letting go of the past and embracing the future. For me this is the greatest part of the journey, the leap, the leap of faith to absolutely trust that the future will be oh so much brighter, more, and richer that anything any of us have experienced in the past. That is why , for me, it is so awesome, inspiring and motivational to have so many of the "older" quitters posting, celebrating and showing the way to an amazing free life. Thanks for leading the way and being so vulnerable and so inspiring. Thanks Phillip [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 51 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,038 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $382.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 1 [B]Seconds:[/B] 21

Lady If hiding under the covers iswhat you need then do that. Do exactly what you need to do to care for yourself. Rest easy. This too shall pass.

Lady, I think we all "own" our quits from the moment we decide to quit and make the commitment to ourselves. It's kinda like buying a house....you make a commitment, sign on the dotted line and now you "own" it. So, what are you going to do with it? Maybe some refurbishing or redecorating? Quitting smoking refurbishes our health and redecorates our lives. It�s the same life (or same house) just with a fresh coat of paint....a new look....a new attitude. Things will probably break down at some point so general repairs and maintenance will be required along the way. The important thing is that we tend to the repairs before we have a huge problem and keep up with the maintenance to avoid any unnecessary issues. You are right; you have had a wonderful week....is your little nicodemon coming to terms with your quit? Is he realizing that you are a successful, responsible owner and making one more attempt to repossess your quit? Don�t let him turn your good into his victory. You have too much to look forward to in the weeks and months ahead. Stay Strong Sheila ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/4/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 64 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,938 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $320 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

I meant to also ask how N2K and your Dad are doing. I hope all is well with them. Tell N2K, if you speak with her that I miss her here and hope her family member is doing well.(Grandad-in-law I think). I'm hoping the news is good . [color=Red]redrosie[/color]

Lady, I'm not sure how I missed this thread til now, but I just wanted to weigh in on this. You have gotten some great thoughts and advice here. What a smart bunch of quitters we are!!! I for one thank you for posting about your fears. It doesn't scare me that you still are feeling this way, it just serves as another example of how we must keep strong and be prepared for anything at any time of our quits. We don't know what is in store for us in the future or how we will handle a trigger or tragedy, but I firmly hope we can get through it without a cigarette. We must! So in the middle of these stresses, we can hang on to this feeling of... " I did it, I'm a strong person who has taken control of this addiction and no one or nothing will ever take this away from me!!!! You are doing this everyday, so thank you for your honesty!!

What a great thread. So much wisdom and caring.....am amazed at what a philosophical group we are. I learned alot....especially the part where we regress to the age when we started smoking! Pray God THAT's a myth but interesting concept nonetheless. I have the deepest regard for those of you who quit and live with smoking family members. Quitting is hard and there is no "easy" way but there are circumstances that make it tougher. If I had easy access to cigs I really would be doomed. Kudos Lady, Janet And thanks, Shevie for the N2K update, one always wonders about a quit buddy who disappears. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 263 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,261 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1315 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 34 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

Thanks everyone for all your advice and possitive thoughts. Shevie.. I remember "Better Late than Never" I thought your wife was so lucky and you were sweet. Thanks for the update on N2K too. I probably won't post much today. I'm kind of in a slump here. Emotionally I am really feeling like a 15 year old. Like a stupid kid that just can't sort it all out and my emotions are running wild for some reason today. I know I'm supose to stay possitive here and everything you guys say is true and has helped so much. I've copied it all into my quit diary. Words of Wisdom from my awesome quit family. I think I'll just hang out in the back ground for a while. I'm tired today. One of those days I wish I could just hide under the covers.
