The Journey Continues

Thank you Lady. You truly are an inspiration to me. You make me realize that this journey will be a life long fight. I must remember to take 1 day at a time for now. The day will come when this will all be a distant memory.

I think I am having a hard time accepting that after a year of not smoking I could be hit with an all day crave. Does this happen to all quitters? Are there any 365+ day quitters out there that do not have all day craves anymore? The thought of that happening after not smoking for so long just pisses me off. I think that would just drive me mad. I am glad you didn't cave in Lady. Good for you for holding onto your accomplishment.

Thanks for explaining that to me Lady. Since I am not as far a long in my quit as you guys ... I sometimes have a hard time 'totally' understanding the experience you are describing. But I am trying so hard because I want to learn. I appreciate you taking the time to help me understand.

Lady, Thanks for sharing. It takes a lot of muddling through rollercoaster emotions and nasty cravings before your finally able to regain your balance, look up and start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm sure you'll be an inspiration to many. Danielle ___________________________________________ The SSC Support Team

I think it's the hardest thing about this quit...to get slammed with an intense nearly all-day-crave this "far" along. It seems so unreal and illogical when one should be past this. And then one feels that no one wants to hear about it either. Posts about it all being about attitude don't do me any good...maybe even make it worse. Wish I could switch it off...but that's not me. And then the days where I feel pretty in charge. NICE. And it is getting better, but very, very, slowly. Still, I remain precariously balanced here. I do hope that I never lose my empathy for smokers. I don't like or dislike the smell of smoke; but I'd rather not be around it only because it is a temptation. It is such an addiction. It should not be legal. Smokers aren't bad people. They are legally addicted, though. Oh well, the jouney continues indeed. :8o: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/18/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 107 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,312 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $963 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 10 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10

Lady Thank you for posting this. Much of what you said seemed to be coming from my mind, my process, my thoughts. I take an enormous amount of pride in what I am doing for my life and it occasionally saddens me when I am struck down to my kness by the intensity of the crave. I am slowly beginning to trust however that I can and will get myself through each of the very down times that present themselves to me. Thanks Glad you are here to lead the way and that you are such a wonderful and generous quitter. Peace Phillip :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 108 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,176 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $810 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 31 [B]Seconds:[/B] 30

Thanks for that, we are all just one smoke away from addiction again no matter how long we have been quit. The thing I find amazing is how most of us refer to them as our friends, to quote you Lady "There are still times that I miss my friend, my companion, my crutch" and I see this time and again from new as well as seasoned quitters. It just goes to show how tobacco twists our minds!

Hi Lady, kind of spooky that I should decide to log on tonight and post about not wanting to be in a smoky atmosphere and not wanting to smoke again.............. I also feel in control.............. And I hope that the message to all of those who are in the early stages of stopping at the moment, keep going, because it does get easier.....no, easy! to not smoke! Brent (by the way................need any feathers gently teasing back into place...........................?)

Breaking free. Please do not be confused. Most of the time at this stage thoughts of smoking are just that. Passing thoughts that go as quickly as they come usually triggered by something I use to do while smoking. The crave that hit me last week was very unusual and that is what was so disturbing about it. It was definately stress induced and it is my coping skills that are lacking not the actual desire to smoke. Smoking WAS my coping skill. When life seems to come at you from all directions, it isn't hard to let your thoughts drift back to the "good old days" when a cigarette fixed all our problems. However, at this stage of the quit, I know that smoking doesn't fix a thing. I just allowed myself to believe it might help for a while and that is where I went wrong. Quitting is a soul searching, life changing process and the changes are for a lifetime. We cannot take our quits for granted. My quit is as precious today as it was on day 5. Each day is full of life and we have to learn to deal with it without the crutch. The emotional part of the quit has been the hardest for me. You have probably heard me say this a million times. The journey continues is just another step along the way. The craves can come at any time but this far into the quit, we know how to deal with them. We know that they only have as much control as we allow them to have and we know who to reach out to in our time of need. It is the knowledge we have gained along the way that gets us through. If I am not mistaken the last bad crave I had (besides last week) was over 100 days ago. These craves last for a little while, not for an entire day. Just a couple of hours but that is enough. I don't think all quitters go through this. I think a lot of quitters are more emotionally sound than I am. Remember that everyone's quit is different.
