Nonetheless, we remain addicts. And when we begin to experience the joys of being free from using nicotine, we run the risk of thinking once again that we control things. That is the risk of being an addict.

Just reply to this message with the time you want to sign up for.  I'll post an updated one every daily.  Many people find the holiday gatherings/lonlines s can be a hard time to get through.  These Marathons really help with that.  Hope we can find a way to have the rooms open through out the marathon times and enjoy each other in smobriety/nicotine freedom and the pursuit thereof.

PS-------->wow, there's only 2 slots left: 2pm and 11pm.  The time is "flying".  Hurry and get your slot reserved.  You were right JohnR, we might have to open a couple more slots if we run out and still have some wanting more.  Maybe the 9am and 10am could be considered if that happens.

Hey guys

Thought it would be nice to have something to celebrate on this cold and grey day, so here is my quit meter reading as I type . . .

Thanks to my HP and the wonderful people in Nicotine Anonymous, I have Five years, 1 hour, 35 minutes and 7 seconds. 36521 cigarettes not smoked, saving £18,260.66. Life saved: 18 weeks, 19 hours, 25 minutes. My quit date was the 9th of November 2004

For this, thanks must go in the first instance to my HP, and, following closely behind (indeed, holding on to HP's coat-tails) comes each and every person in the wonderful world of Nicotine Anonymous, so thank you guys for this unbelieveable achievement!

In gratitude and with humility

That is so awesome my friend! It is amazing what happens when we quit smoking.
Life gets better and things get more peaceful or at least we are able to deal
with the complexities of life without panicking.

Hang in there. you show alot of courage.With Nic A expect a miracle and it will come in time.  God will release you of this terrible addiction if you ask and trust in his grace.

I tried....and tried.....and tried....for several years before I was able to get a quit going.
 
I have felt discouraged...felt ashamed...felt stupid...felt so many negative emotions.
 
But....I didn't quit hanging on to that fragile little thread of hope. Hang on, it WILL happen for you, too.:o)

your email is a very powerful one for me today.
 
much older smober members will respond no doubt
 
i have a little experience of coming to believe in this process on tap here in nicA and vonr
 
im 29 days into my recovery from nicotine addiction
 
and what you say is very profound
 
i remember this condundrum thinking (?sp) you share
 
the insanity of my addiction to nicotine was
 
that staying smoking nicotine KEPT me in my negative self image thinking
 
the further away i have gotton from having nicotine inside me
 
the more loving and kind my thinking is to myself
 
and my fellow human beings
 
together WE are a strong and loving fellowship
 
alone, with my nicotine delivery units ie death sticks, my so called friend of 30 years, i suffered indescribable self loathing, self hatred and isolation,
 
and every PUFF kept me in that prison
 
may i make some suggestions based on whats working for me?
 
keep coming closer and closer into the recovering group
 
choose a wise and experienced smober member of this group to "sponsor" you in the process of staying committed to yourself and your quit ( i was really good at giving up on myself, my sponsor has really coached me to keep believing in what i really desired which was to be free from nicotine)
 
keep coming to meetings
read the literature
read the message board, all of it
 
stay close
you are worth it
 
you are loved and valued here
theres a miracle waiting here for you
 
and it happens one moment and one day at a time
 
when you keep saying no to the craving
saying yes to the new life you have here
 
smobriety is a beautiful, challenging, inspiring, emotionally real place
surrender to it
 
WE do together
what I could never do alone
 
your friend in fellowship
bridget

I have set a quit date. Some days I can be positive about that, and I work on mini-quits (ei. wait a couple hours after eating to smoke). But some days, like today, the fear sets in. And the negative thinking takes over.... How can I expect to do this? Even with the serenity prayer... And I notice all of the negative things that I don't like about myself.

Which makes me want to smoke more!

I can't figure out how to remain positive with myself through this process..... ........

Hey guys

Thought it would be nice to have something to celebrate on this cold and grey day, so here is my quit meter reading as I type . . .

Thanks to my HP and the wonderful people in Nicotine Anonymous, I have Five years, 1 hour, 35 minutes and 7 seconds. 36521 cigarettes not smoked, saving £18,260.66. Life saved: 18 weeks, 19 hours, 25 minutes. My quit date was the 9th of November 2004

For this, thanks must go in the first instance to my HP, and, following closely behind (indeed, holding on to HP's coat-tails) comes each and every person in the wonderful world of Nicotine Anonymous, so thank you guys for this unbelieveable achievement!

In gratitude and with humility

Kim

Just reply to this message with the time you want to sign up for.  I'll post an updated one every daily.  Many people find the holiday gatherings/lonlines s can be a hard time to get through.  These Marathons really help with that.  Hope we can find a way to have the rooms open through out the marathon times and enjoy each other in smobriety/nicotine freedom and the pursuit thereof.

Hey guys

Thought it would be nice to have something to celebrate on this cold and grey
day, so here is my quit meter reading as I type . . .

Thanks to my HP and the wonderful people in Nicotine Anonymous, I have Five
years, 1 hour, 35 minutes and 7 seconds. 36521 cigarettes not smoked, saving
£18,260.66. Life saved: 18 weeks, 19 hours, 25 minutes.  My quit date was the
9th of November 2004

For this, thanks must go in the first instance to my HP, and, following closely
behind (indeed, holding on to HP's coat-tails) comes each and every person in
the wonderful world of Nicotine Anonymous, so thank you guys for this
unbelieveable achievement!

In gratitude and with humility

Kim
