Time vs. Honesty


There's two ways to move beyond the mountain of smoking memories and smoking rationalizations these brains collected over the years, time and honesty. Although time will slowly cause new memories to bury old, honesty brings potential to quickly recast entire classes of old memories as no longer find them worthy of being replayed over and over inside the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (John (Gold)) http://ffn.yuku.com/sreply/255614 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 19:05:00 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: What did we love about smoking? ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/reply/255613/t/What-did-we-love-about-smoking-.html#reply-255613 Dear JoeJ,

I guess you can say I enjoyed a smoke when I was bored. It was my way of relaxing. i wouldnt say I was in a need of a fix. I do know that I hated smoking for the most part and I know that one puff will bring me back to all the stuff I hate about smoking, coughing, health, smelling and my children smelled that.

  • were towards the beginning of my nicotine journey
  • were times when i didn't realize i was chemically addicted, or avoided the reality that i had an addiction

i think back to various times when i did enjoy smoking, and i know now that those memories excluded the days/months/years that i struggled to stop smoking.

Nicotine Dependency -
a disease of learning and memory?

Sharon, that's nicotine's only claim to fame, that stolen "aaah" sensation. But for each stolen "aaah" there's either a corresponding low or need to feed (an urge or crave), or there would have been a low if we hadn't engaged in early dependency compliance (almost as if on auto pilot).

Many if not most actively feeding... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (John (Gold)) http://ffn.yuku.com/sreply/255604 Sun, 17 Dec 2006 22:35:00 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: What did we love about smoking? ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/reply/255603/t/What-did-we-love-about-smoking-.html#reply-255603 It has been many years since I had the ahhhhhhhh feeling. It was more of the yuk feeling.

Nearly 2 weeks into my quit, and today, I think, for the first time actually wanted a puff and feel a bit down. But I won't be fooled by the memory of a long off cigarette that I enjoyed. That was a very long time ago.

Do you have any current memory of what it was like inside your mind before nicotine put you on an endless roller-coaster ride of nicotine/dopamine highs and lows ("where are my cigarettes, I need a smoke now!!!!!!!!!!")?
