01/23/05 01:36	Lol...I have to admit, "Executive Assistant" sounds a lot better than "Junkie Mind". Thanks for bringing this up.

02/15/05 03:16	Thanks, Kay, for this wonderful story. I don't know how often I've read and re-read it ... especially in the first two weeks or so when my Inner Junkie (IJ) was nearly drving me mad. She tried very hard but I'm more than happy to report she didn't succeed. I was so scared of the psychological side when I started my quit ... only recently dawned on me that this might have been why it was so hard in the very beginning. Talk about self-fulfilling phrophecies and attitudes. Like all the golden Oldies keep saying: it gets better! It IS getting better. Having said that ... I blame you that she now sometimes comes out and wants a promotion. What she really wanted was to put my perfectly capable EA out of her job. I'm so glad that my EA seems to have won that particular battle. Thank you, too, for so many great posts and very belated congratulations on your golding -- the colour suits you so well. Gitte 81 days and a bit

03/28/05 06:55	Thanks for bumping this one up! I"ve printed it and review it often. This is one of the articles that gave me hope I could quit and it would'nt be horrible forever. It empowers me to know all I have to do is face certain situations once or twice and I can rewrite how I respond to them. Thanks again. :) A.

09/22/05 03:42	Printed the lead post out for my Dad who says he is still having regular 'thoughts' about smoking, even after 3 months. Not all that unusual for somone who has smoked a lifetime! Thanks for the wisdom & viewpoint Kay. I'm sure your now famous article will help him with his 'Thiggers'. yqb - JoeJ Free retraining my 'Assistant' for the last 254 days.

01/07/06 01:25	As Kay shares here, we each conditioned our minds to expect nicotine at certain times, places, locations, events or when encountering certain emotions. As I've heard Joel say more than once, when phones were still tied to cords most of us wouldn't pick it up when it rang without first ensuring that we had our nicotine source handy as we didn't know how long we'd be on it. It may be little things like ice cubes hitting a glass, our little walk, or subtle distinctions like the weekly paper being a single cigarette read while the Sunday paper was always three. Each trigger encountered means an opportunity to reclaim one additional aspect of our life, to obtain another piece of the puzzle. Soon the pieces start fitting together and before long more of the puzzle is complete than missing. Unless we insist upon keeping a few pieces in our pocket (those lingering romantic dependency fixations) - with each passing day the challenges will grow fewer, shorter and generally less intense. Fully retrain your EA, complete the puzzle and taste the full flavor of a life where wanting for nicotine becomes the exception not the rule. This can be one of the most interesting adventures in self discovery that we'll ever make if we'll only stop being afraid and allow ourselves to notice and smell the beauty of the slowly opening rosebud that is us.

02/09/06 10:38	Kattatonic, Thank you for this wonderful analogy. It came to me not a moment too soon as today is one of the hardest days I've had so far. I'm going to print it and refer to it whenever I feel my "Assistant" needs a little refresher training. Tracy - Free and Healing for Eleven Days, 21 Hours and 11 Minutes. I have extended my life by 19 Hours by avoiding the use of 238 cigarettes that would have cost me $87.50.
