What was your biggest
fear when quitting?

Fear breeds anxiety and needless fear can make not putting nicotine back into these bodies seem far more... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (John (Gold)) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/12856 Wed, 27 Aug 2003 16:29:00 GMT http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/13884/t/Days-I-just-wanted-to-Die.html
I was laying in bed this am thinking about life in general.
I do that a lot now because there is no rush to get up and get a fix.

I thought about a lot of things and just before I got up it dawned on me that smoking was not one of my first thoughts as a matter of fact it only came to mind when I was thinking about all the really bad stuff I have been through in life.

There were days early in my quit that I just wanted to die.
Death seemed a better... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Melissa777 Gold) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/13884 Tue, 15 Jul 2003 06:34:00 GMT http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/12855/t/-quot-Do-whatever-it-takes-to-quit-smoking-quot-.html I originally had a variation of this post in the The Teaching of Conventional Wisdom at Freedom thread at Freedom.

A Decision Away

I distinctly remember the day I set in motion the process that started me down the road facing many years of addiction to nicotine.
