thanks to those who responded to my post about 70 day quit.several things were pointed out to me in that thread that i did not realize.... like comparing my 70 days done to a prison sentence.. wow, and it does feel this way. now i am looking ahead to that 90 day mark. i think that is part of my sadness is the fact that i still have a strong desire to smoke, although i am tough and stubborn and plan on staying smokefree forever... i wish i would not even think about it. too frustrating to have to keep talking myself out of wanting to smoke. holidays made it worse and for some reason, this year i have missed my dad more than past years. he passed away 8 years ago and was a chain smoker. for some awful reason that i have not figured out......visualizing him and his smoking has a calming effect on me but also brings in a stronger desire to smoke. does any of this make sense, i hate not making sense. i am an X-smoker....i have 70 days without a single puff......i AM doing very very good as far as a quit goes.....it just doesnt seem to me like i am doing well at all.
Thanks for the help ....shell

Shell,
This may be 70 days without a cigarette but it is your first holiday season without one. Family memories are strong and all wrapped up with all kinds of devious junkie thinking. You are doing so well. You are an inspiration to those of us like myself who are just barely past the one month mark and those who are just starting out. You have not broken the only rule there is... NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF! and no matter how you look at it, that, my friend is all that matters. So thank you for your example. You are a true fighter
Sheila
I have enjoyed my Freedom from nicotine for: 1 Month 1 Week 10 Hours 5 Minutes. I have NOT smoked 576 disgusting cigarettes, and not wasted $99.41. Precious life Saved 2 Days.

Hello Jelly,, i agree with Shiela,, lotsof new triggers here,, and remember nicotine addiction will use, and exploit everything to get its needs meet , which includes exploiting the loss of our loved ones,, God knows the last thing your DAd would want is for you to smoke over a memory of him.. i may be out on a limb here,, but that is clearly addiction thinking,, .. also, ,we are never not doing well in our quit. It is addiction in us that is losing ground. Not us,, as Sheila always says, as long as we are on this side of Never Taking Another Puff,, we are the Winners.. You are doing GREAT!!! Believe it.. ONly addiction thinking would have you think otherwise. yqs Christiana ....
