Dealing with Triggers


18 godina 0 1450 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Windy if you were not at 56 days I might say AVOID 'temporarily' until you are further along. However, knowing you and how strong you are~ I suspect you CAN begin to re-program now. The more I did 'something' while denying 'the urge' the easier it became the next time. Also, if you have not found something to be a 'subsitute action' while playing cards (ie: chewing gum) you might try that too. Get this Windy ;) I haven't experienced a trigger or even a smoke thought in a LOOOOONG time! Yet, I am NEVER without my Orbit gum AND if I start running low on that particular brand of gum I get a little anxious!? Isn't that funny? Just goes to show how it's all a 'MIND GAME.' Try anything and everything until you figure out what works for you. I promise you, SOMETHING WILL WORK if you let it. :) [color=blue][font=Tahoma]All the best~[/color] [img]http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/6922/n3us.gif[/img][size=3][color=blue]2[/color][/size][img]http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/2344/k6ob.gif[/img][/color] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/20/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 443 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,767 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2215 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 42 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 8

Hi windy, I must put hold my hands up on this one! When I quit, I did everything without a smoke that I did with a smoke - quitting was NOT going to stop me doing the things I do. Well, that was true for everything except ONE hobby that I just couldn't crack without cigarettes. The association was so great that I had to walk away to protect my quit and like you say I didn't HAVE to practice that hobby so it has GONE but I am still quit. Small price to pay for me but it doesn't have to be the same for you. Good Luck Penitent d903
