Like if I go out, I'd love to be able to light up and take some drags, throw the butt on the ground and stamp it out.

It feeeeels so cool. How can I get past that thought??

If I get rid of that, (without constantly thinking of images of people dying from cancer, because I can't and don't want to maintain those thoughts), then I feel being done with cigarettes... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (RogerDonaldson) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23678 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:19:03 GMT <![CDATA[ Is it normal to feel this tired? ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23676/t/Is-it-normal-to-feel-this-tired-.html feeds@yuku.com (RogerDonaldson) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23676 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:40:12 GMT <![CDATA[ I AM SO BORED WITHOUT SMOKING!!!!! ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23669/t/I-AM-SO-BORED-WITHOUT-SMOKING-.html RRRR!!!!!!!

The funny thing is in about 2 minutes I'll feel deep tranquility and a great happiness that I haven't smoked. But the boredom is really starting to actually make me angry. There is just an intese boredom deep within me. And I'm thinking back to painful events of my past which are making me angry. I feel spiteful toward someone I don't want to feel spiteful toward. It seems like smokes kept that away.

In England they followed more than 34,000 doctors' lives since 1951 and checked their smoking habits also on the way. An article in the British Medical Journal has a number of clear conclusions:

• Non-smokers live on average 10 years longer than smokers

• 30-year-old who stops smoking, wins 10 years in life expectancy

• 40-year-old who stops... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (benedikte) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23592 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:53:31 GMT <![CDATA[ Visual Aids for Relapse Prevention ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23423/t/Visual-Aids-for-Relapse-Prevention.html A picture is worth a thousand words

I often see images that help me on my journey of arresting this nicotine addiction.

I invite you to add ones that have "spoken" to you.

One image per post and each post titled.

Please do not add images of people suffering to this post.

Thank you.

At four months, I have entered a definite comfort zone, however, it seems that within a day of making any kind of mental pronouncement to myself that I'm not going to ever smoke again, some little junkie thought flashes through my brain. It's gone so fast, it's almost like it didn't happen, but it did.

Yes, the act of saying things out loud, or in our case, posting thoughts, can sometimes turn on the ol' lightbulb.

I know WhyQuit.com hosts some stories about real smoke-caused damages to real people so I think it really sticks to the spirit of this website.
