I like your thinking, Nonic. If we are to succeed in quitting this addiction, we must become experts at it. The more knowledge we have, the more power we have over it. thanks, you're my Eveready Bunny! :) G [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/21/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 145 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,350 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $696.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 29 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15

Alright Nonic, you have convinced me to shed my hesitant skin. Post I will. Hey, I had a dream you may get a kick out of. I started a thread in New User and General Discussion, I think. The images of the dream are so fresh yet in my mind's eye. Wish I could have brought a bunch of you along for that one. It appears that this Christmas will bring an extra reason to celebrate for you. Congrats to you Nonic!!

Aloha That is it for me exactly...Quitting is in this sense a returning home...And since we have been gone so long, we must employ our imaginations to visualize and then achieve our original state of health and wellness. After all when we lit bits of paper filled with thousands of chemicals and sucked down the fumes, what did we know about living in a healthy state...We lived more in a state of denial than anything else...Denial not only in terms of what smoking was doing to us, but also in terms of denying the essential goodness of who we are... Stay well, you and I have been at this for quite a while now... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 352 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 10,560 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,696.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 64 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 8 [B]Seconds:[/B] 8

Grin Thank you for your kind words. This type of dialogue is not everyone's cup of tea. But if you see something in it than I imagine you too are a fellow searcher, in terms of understanding the why of our shared addictive behavior. I was never very good at accepting things at face value. With something as important as this (freeing ourselves from smoking) it would be unwise not to pursue a sensible line of inquiry. I do think that the ability to imagine a different or better you is essential for staying quit. It certainly cannot be solely about abstinance. Although resolve and commitment are key ingredients. No one gets through initial withdrawal without some steel in their back bone. But once over the major physical side of addiction, we do need to enter into a sort of "mental dreaming" that allows us to create a more healthy body and lifestyle. I personally never want to smoke again, could not imagine picking up a cigarette again. But I still must wrestle with the demons that led me to suck down a billion cigarettes (thats a bit of hyperbole that)...I am just a bit smarter about it this time. I know I used cigarettes to cover some rather uncomfortable bits and pieces of my personal makeup. The difference is now I know I never had to do that at all...And that is why I believe that we have the ability to create ourselves, if you will, and make a difference not only for us, but in the long haul for all the people who love us in this world.
