hi rowly - i can relate to angry angry at ourselves, at addictions at the fact smoking makes us ill the fact that we know deep down that we have to quit - and on top of all that life makes us angry for whatever reasons and boom now you have identified it - you can move forward a step at a time have you seen the curse it thread?? where you can let rip and not be polite - because we need to vent and to say "oh darn that just sucks" - sometimes just do not cut it!! you know that annoying little monkey on your back - thats me - hi I am Tracey and I am an nicotine addict pleased to meet you :) lets do this......

fantastic sharon great to see you :)

Woke up this morning feeling different cannot explain it just different - relaxed almost bonnies thread about her 13 cigarettes made me think about my 3 I have been hanging onto I kept them to keep up my fight as I had something physical to fight I have realised the fight is in my head I drowned them today and binned them - no emotion to it at all No longer feel scared or need to fight - I think thats why I feel relaxed it`s like an end of a battle It feels weird but in a good way :)

Thank you Bonnie this thread and writing about my 3 has made me bring forward my get rid of them ceremony I thought when the day comes I was going to have a big bonfire and farewell/good bye ceremony the truth was it was uneventful - I woke up this morning soaked them in water and chucked them in the bin no emotion - no nothing moving on - another corner turned :)

The last time I quit I hit 6 months and just tossed it away - I did not care and did not look back - it took me years to get back on the quit and now I wished my attitude did not suck back then no one is invincible and everyone can and will be at some point affected by smoking education and not denial has changed my attitude - but boy what some wasted years, money and health!!! I have face the truth this time, however hard, I have learned things about myself i did not know, some good some bad but I am no longer in denial I knew the 6 months point was going to be sticky for me from last time and to make matters worse personal life has been trying I have had a few sticky moments for sure but the worse thing was feeling sorry for my dam self I woke up this morning on D Day anniversary and thought Tracey what the hell have you got to complain about girl get on with life and make the bloody best of it!! I am a 6 month quit non smoker and going forth to my new life :)

The Comfort Zone By Unknown I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn’t fail. The same four walls and busywork were really more like jail. I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before, But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor. I said it didn‘t matter that I wasn’t doing much. I said I didn’t care for things like commission checks and such. I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone, But deep inside I longed for something special of my own. I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win. I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin. I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before, I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door. If you’re in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out, Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt. A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true. Reach for your future with a smile; Success is there for you!
