Sparky, I think that is the one of the best posts I have ever read here. Especially for a newbie. I really respect your truth and honesty. xo Sue [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 238 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,380 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $416.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 22 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 3 [B]Seconds:[/B] 50

Sparky, this is a beautiful post and many will thank you for it. Honesty, willingness and open mind are key to being successful. I think that's why I had such an emotional quit, because quitting means we really have to examine ourselves, and who the heck wants to do that? And even with three years under my belt, I still have to remember HOW. I have to be honest that I am an addict and can never smoke again. I have to have an open mind to know that I am no better or worse than anyone else and willingness to listen to what others have to say without judgement. Thank you for telling me HOW!

H.O.W. The H.O.W. of my quit. I am using this acronym from my 12-step program and it works just fine with my quit. My signature is H.A.L.T. Don�t get to hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. I use that constantly. But I also use H.O.W. H. = Honesty. Honesty was and still is a journey for me. When I first came here I �honestly� thought I was ready to quit. Then came the boredom of the quit, the thrill of look at what I am doing. It just became a struggle. It was easier to smoke than fight the craves. What I lacked was the courage and the education of what quitting was all about. I quit several times and each time I honestly wanted to quit, but I never wanted to really quit for me. I hated the word addict. I mean I really HATED it!!! I had to get honest with what I was and am and always will be � I am addicted to cigarettes and for me to stay quit I am never to have one puff ever. In the past I would smoke one or half of one and go on for a while and then pretty soon I would smoke again and then again and then I was back to smoking. I honestly know today than I can never have that one puff again. O. = Open Mind I had to have an open mind to what people were telling me. I was not unique when it came to my quit. There was nothing I was going though that others hadn�t gone though before me. I had to have an open mind in order to �hear� those helpful words. When one has an open mind many wonderful suggestions can filter their way into the mind and soul. W. = Willingness. Willingness is the key to a quit. I had to be willing to hear. I had to be willing to follow suggestions. I had to be willing to go though withdrawal. I had to be willing to listen to my doctor. I had to be willing to trust and move forward each day with the commitment to stay smoke free. I know we are going to have several new people coming to this site shortly. I hope this can be of some help to them and to you my fellow quitters.
