9. It's called "The Easyway to Stop Smoking"
It's a very simplistic book, but it works. No nicotine replacements either.

8. But, but
When I was going through the rubble of my house, the most I can find in one piece are ashtrays! :shrug: Now is that a sign from God that I should just keep smoking? :smoke:

I kind of think it is! :freak:

:hug: So glad you have made it 3 months though! :loveya:

11. Oh no.... Ashtrays survived! LOL.
Sorry to laugh, but.... no, I don't think that's a sign. As much as you'd like it to be. On the other hand... I don't that that I'd be worried too much about quitting right now if I was you. :)

16. I have found probably 10 ashtrays in one piece, not a chip, not a
scratch. It's the damnedest thing! :freak:

I guess once I rebuild, I can use the ashtrays for candle holders after I quit! :shrug:

Maybe the surviving ashtrays are signs from God that I should keep my butt off the ground and keep trying! :crazy: :silly:

19. No.
I'm still smoking sadly. At times I do well with it. The other day I was at my b/fs and I smoked my last cig at 3 p.m. and didn't buy another pack until the afternoon the next day. But other days, I'm non-stop. Like last night when I went to the bar. Smoked like 15 in a four hour span.
My lungs were not happy this morning.

23. Aw.... well... I know what that's like.
I can't tell you how many times I've quit before. Once for 8 years, but it was always a struggle even during that period to not smoke. This was the first time that quitting and continuing to not smoke is actually easy.

25. I'm very proud of you.
Way to go. You're better off without it. For me, it's more mental than physical. I never need to have a cig, I just want to do it I guess because it's habitual. I have cigs at the same time every day--but I don't really need them.

28. For years... I never smoked until after work, after 6pm at the earliest.
And then I would smoke a pack. You've just reminded me what was best about the book I read... that we all say the same things, and make the same excuses for smoking. I could go days without smoking... it doesn't mean that I wasn't addicted.

I am not addicted now to cigarettes, because I am not putting nicotine into my system on a regular basis. You are addicted to cigarettes, even if you think you are in control.

(And apologies for my being a hardass above... it's just 'cause I love you. :))
