Am I ready to quit now?

for 18 år siden 0 +0 / -0 97

Actualy I did it last night. I assigned August 1, 2006 to heads and Monday to tails. I did just what Shevie said and I paid close attention to my feelings. Not just when it was revealed but as it was tumbeling in the air. You'd be surprised what thought passed through my mind as it landed in the palm of my hand...."please let it be tails" I knew right then it didn't matter if it was heads or not, I was going to quit Monday. But if it was tails...well what better omen could I ask for right? To have my convictions confirmed by this coin would be perfect tribute. Sadly, it was tails. I say sadly because every since I have been cursing poor Shevie and that damn coin. The junkie in me is screaming like a banshee [b].....but you said August 1, 2006. Monday is too soon. You still have time to change your mind...[/b] Am I still quitting tomorrow? Your damn straight I am. I just feel sorry for poor Shevie. When my junkie finds him she is going to...well let's just say I hope he fairs better than the poor coin did lol :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] -15 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 0 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $0 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

I've been asking myself this question all day today. Am I ready to quit now? I talked my husband into smoking outside starting tomorrow. I calmly told him that he had a choice as to whether or not he wanted to smoke but he did not have a choice of whether or not he wanted to smoke in the house. As Shevie will tell you Alabama boys don't take well to being TOLD what to do lol :p, but after a few eye rolls he finally agreed to "try" and smoke outside. I gave him the day to get used to the idea and even put a bowl of my "[i]forbidden to anyone who has not quit smoking[/i]" sunflower seeds on his desk as a peace offering. I've cleaned out the car and filled the front ashtray with loose change. I stuck packs of gum on the dashboad where I normally put my cigs (they'll probably melt in this Alabama heat lol) I also filled the glove box with Blow Pops and Tootsie Pops...how will they do in the heat Shevie? Think they'll melt too? So what is there left to do? The last room to make smoke free was this one, the bedroom/computer room. I have all my supplies handy on the desk for when I'm visiting you guys. So I feel safe here. I also took up crocheting...I forget who told me to do that? So next to my bedside I have a little crochet basket ready with yarn and hooks. My great granny taught me how to crochet when I was younger, she hated to see me smoke...she would be so proud of me in my decision to quit. I've also got a note book with a pen so I can keep a diary of my progress and struggles so that in the future when I think I can handle "just one smoke" I can remind myself of what it took to quit. So what's left? Just me. Just the junkie thinking of excuses to delay that quit date. Well, I'm tired of listening to the junkie. For those of you who have been reading my posts and know the preperation I've done in each room of my house...is there anything left to do? I'm on stage 4 of [i]My Glove Compartment[/i] where I am supposed to pledge a quit date....and I quess the question is should I move that quit date up or leave it at August 1, 2006? Part of me says leave it and spend the time gathering info...but I'm begining to believe that maybe the junkie voice wanting as much time as possible to make excuses NOT to do it. And there is this quiet lit

Tina, you tell that junkie of yours to bring it, all it's got, every bit. And it better borrow some extra, too. 'Cause come Monday we're gonna kick some Nic a$$. And in between, we'll party for Eve's Beach induction.

The heat/humidity will get the Blow Pops and Tootsie Pops. Don't know about the gum, it may survive. We Alabama boys don't like being TOLD, but we are very susceptable to being cajoled into things, if done properly. ;p Before you quit you need to let him know that for a while you aren't going to be the same person he's used to. You're going to turn green, grow arms from your head, and blood's going to run from your mouth. Then things will get bad. :gasp: Seriously, you are very right in insisting he keep it outside from now on. He won't like it, but I hope he will accept it. Also, you're going to go through a few weeks where your emotions are going to be all over the place; you'll get snappish, cry a lot, be depressed, laugh uncontrollably, and will change in an instant. Tell him now that you love him and to be patient with you. If you feel like exploding, come here and explode on us, not family or friends. They won't understand, we will. Plus we like it. :8o: You do what you feel is right for you on your quit date. I moved mine up and am glad I did, but that was right for me. Only you know what is right for you. I have a suggestion. Flip a coin and call heads or tails for quit Monday or quit August 1. Pay close attention to yourself when you first look at the coin. That very first, instantaneous feeling is what you really want. If it's a good feeling, go with what the coin shows. If it's a bad feeling, go with the opposite side of the coin. The coin is just a way to trigger a true feeling that hasn't gotten muddled in thought yet. You are so on the right track, Tina. I'm really looking forward to watching your quit grow. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 418 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,377 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1588.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 78 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 2 [B]Seconds:[/B] 2

Hi Tina, I'm with Shevie. You'll have to make the decision yourself. I'd vote for Monday, but that's only because I've read your other threads and you "sound" ready. Only you know how you really feel. We'll be here either way. :) Not cravin', never cavin'.
