My last day as a smoker.

I’m not sure of the precise time at which it will occur,
but my last cigarette will be today, Saturday, March 22, 2003.
I’ve decided (or something in me has) to neither give up
nor quit smoking. Instead, I’m going to experience what
it is like to be a non-smoker.
I’ll continue to make use of the techniques that have
been promulgated here as I adjust to my new life.
I’ve posted only a few times, less than 5. But I’ve been
an avid reader and have absorbed much. I’ve felt the
feelings others have expressed. Not just, “Oh yeah, I’ve felt
that too,” but I feel them as I read. There’s an awful
lot of genuine compassion, kindness, and encouragement
here. I want to thank all who, unknowingly, have been
helping me.
Ionronrote, I’m not familiar with the rituals of which you

speak. I hope you don’t mind that I took the liberty of
participating in my heart.

    Hi Glenn
    Hope your day after your last day as a smoker is going well. My last day as a
    smoker will be tomorrow, Mon. 3/24/03. I also have been utilizing every area
    of
    the cognitive site and feel prepared and optimistic. The “proof of the
    pudding”
    will be in how I deal with the triggers and stressors that will inevitably
    arise.
    Having done all the homework, I am sure it will be as easy and comfortable as
    Steve has said.
    Good luck - Wendy
