Give and get support around quitting
working
My reasons for quitting taped around my house: family, health, God, expensive (in more ways than monetarily), and gross.
Hi! All!
Sugar-free gum, short straws (cig length), freezer pops, moving fromm seat to seat or outside!, sugar free jolly ranchers, Education, reading old blogs, group: Relapse Traps!, Dale's page, and quitely frankly whatever it takes to get thru!

Today has been a very long day. I have to put rest in my tool belt along with water and know that SINAO and keep it moving.
Today I am not allowing stress to over take me, It is easier when I am in control of my thoughts, opinions and actions and not someone elses. Sometimes we have to let others live for themselves. I am telling this to myself also.
My tool belt, huh? Never really thought of things in this light.
I suppose I have my own innate stubbornness--once I make my mind up, I tend to dig in my heels big time! Also, I have my commitment to myself to KEEP TOXINS OUT OF MY BODY!
Yeah, I am using the NRT of the lozenges. I'm using the 2 mg and only 2-3 a day max. I go for several hours without even realizing I've had no nicotine.
I realize that I don't REALLY want to smoke. This is huge for me! I've smoked for 58 years and love the damn things. I know categorically that I am an addict and any time I say "I want a cigarette" it is the addiction talking and not me personally. When I think I want a smoke, "no I don't" comes right out of my brain...
I'll have to think more on the subject because that is about all I can come up with.
Today I have to grab hold of all the patience that I can. Dealing with elderly dad. Pray Patience Prepare
Today I plan to take things a little slower and work on some of the small things that I have been putting off. In doing so I already recognize that I have to protect my quit.
Today it is important to rest. Being tired can be a trigger. Remember HALT Hungry Angry Lonely Tire can be riggers and not able to recognized them because we have covered them up in smoke.
