Play it again Sam
Hi all who remember me and those who are new. I, like probably
several others , quit writing when I had a total relapse. The shame
is hard even though the support is here and I had such incredible
support. I still believe in Steve’s program and am back to do it
again. I am just about through day 3 of my new quit. Some of us just
need to kick ourselves in the head a few more times than others
before we get it.
I remember Steve and several of the others proclaiming that I had
mastered the concepts of cog quit early on. I guess I did get it and
I did practice it quite successfully for awhile. My downfall was
blocking out my ABC’s and just giving in to pure emotion and feeling.
Very much like impulsive buying at the supermarket. I just gave in to
the impulse and then allowed the “lies” to myself to build to the
point where I had justified smoking again. It’s been a very tough
battle to get back to the point of a true quit and it’s tough.
I hope Jean is still here, I havent read for quite awhile. I really
identified with her struggles.
So here I am ABC’ing all over the place. But it’s working. Thank you
Steve and all. I will try to keep up, don’t have a lot of time to
post. Hope you are still doing some weekend chats. Let me know where
again, it’s been awhile
