WHY?

0 8 3

Good afternoon to all In the land of EX. I wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas (sorry if I offend anyone) I have always said Merry Christmas and will continue to do so. I hope all are having a good smoke FREE day.

Now to the question why? I have been smoke Free 1377 days and have not smoked 23,409 cigarettes and saved $5,227.91 (I wonder what I did with it, oh yeah I bought a car and my smoke money makes the payments) so why in the world did I have a dream last night I was smoking. I was thinking how do I tell everyone I smoked and sure was relieved when I woke up. The point of this is no matter how long you have been quit and how safe you feel we are still only one puff away from being hooked on smoking again. I don't know about anyone else but I am not going through those first few months ever again and I will always stay vigilant against the nicodemon.

I wish everyone a Blessed day.

HUGS to all, Betty

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. Mother, grandmother and great grandmother My name is Betty and I was born and raised in Kentucky where tobacco was a way of life. I started smoking full time by age 14. The first time I can remember smoking I was 9. I have been on the road to quitting for several years. I quit once for 6 weeks and then thought I would smoke just one. It only took a few weeks till I was smoking full time again. That is why remembering NOT ONE PUFF EVER is so important. It will never be just one puff or just one cigarette. Nicotine addiction doesn't work like that, it is an addiction, feed it and you become addicted. Here are a couple of links to reading materials that I recommend to ALL who would like to quit smoking: What to Expect in the First Four Months (by Jonescarp aka Dale): http://community.becomeanex.org/pg/blog/read/3713880/what-to-expect-in-the-first-four-months The "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr.
