Cigarettes Not Smoked

Hello Lainey, I've had similar experiences lately. Just like you said, not much of a challenge to deal with. It's the ridiculousness of the notion that strikes me. I just think, "Come on, get real!" Happy to be smoke free!!

I have caught myself doing the same thing. LOL I ask myself now where in the heck did that come from. I don't mind those, but the ONE I had last week lasted and lasted and lasted. Those are not any fun. But look at us we are smoke free and ready to tackle the next one together :eg: Keep the Quit Sparky [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]4/30/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 212 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,120 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $318.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 28 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 53

You are right, blue cloud, the holidays do bring on more triggers for me also. Shopping is like Work to me...I deserve a cig after work, right? Wrong..who deserves to be poisoned, choked, slowly robbed of health, their pocketbook robbed. I have alot of cough drops and mints around. I go to bed early and read alot. new me [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/26/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 186 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,464 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $930.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 25 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 26

I'm getting there. The number of triggers are higher during the Holidays but I am noticing how much easier it is to dismiss them.

Amen to that Lainey! And I still have those "out of the blue" cravings myself. No big deal... and I know what you mean about "laughing", because I've had the same response. I think it goes a little like this; the craving comes... and it tries to be mean and powerful and convincing, but it's just not. It takes me about 2 seconds to realize just how weak and pathetic the craving really is... and then I laugh, one because I'm surprised that the craving even happened, and two, because what was once a roaring lion... is now just a kitten baring it's little claws and trying to look tough. :) LOL!! Funny!!
