[i]"I think one key ingredient to quitting is being willing to face the present without flinching or reacting. Cuz one of the major uses of smoking for me was to have something safe and comndortable to do when things seemed a bit unsafe or had to deal with -- things like breaksfast, lunch and dinner!"[/i]

LMAO, Amos! Brings back distant memories.

Actually, having quit (for the last time) over 27 years ago, my conscious mind has long since quit having any need for that kind of "comfort" or "safety." My unconscious mind, however, seems to be a somewhat different beast. Occasionally (about once a year or so on average), I have very realistic dreams in which I have begun smoking again!

As long as those urges (or memories) stay repressed, fine.

Again, hang in there!


And have you learned "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette" yet? It's a great song!
