This is the voice of the addict that must be ignored and replaced with higher thinking. When cigarettes cross your mind, replace the thought. It needn't be a 'big' thought just something to exchange, to switch the synapses up. Look at that light on that leaf. Look at your hand. Look at anything and concentrate on that anything. Say something out loud. I said, 'Free Your Head'. Do something physical...turn around three times. It is just the addiction and these moments will be over soon. Hold your resolve because you know what you are doing. You are quitting smoking. That is that.

Congratulations, Evelyn. :D One Month is a Huge Accomplishment

Smoking isn't sexy. In fact, it looks ridiculous ! because it IS ridiculous. Take your life back and be strong and free.

According to my trusty spies, our friend, Cristóbal, celebrates his Fourth Year Free today. He was/is an important voice in my quit. His post, Your Quit & Your Life still resonates with me. Congratulations Cristóbal

This may just be a link in a dangerous concatenation but, I just had a visit from the Game Police. They are in a flurry looking for the letters X, Y, Z, A and B. "Well, I don't have them" I said as they patted me down. "The last I remember was a Wistful 'W' " They left unsatisfied and seethed a warning, "We're watching you, Lady. We're watching you really close and we know who your friends are"

Rossy ! Mister Pimp ! Where Y'at ? Congratulations on your three years and thank you for blazing a trail for me. Thank you so very much. You still enjoy fishing, right ?
