Quick Post
Just a quick post to say I’m still here.
Had last butt 04/13/03 3:33am.
Using nicotine lozenges to get me through what seem
like rough spots. Averaging about 3-4 per day.
Mind in a state of disconnect, so can’t say much.
Have gone over my foundation statement, lists, and Trog ABC
several times. Reinforcement. Reminding myself what I’m
doing and why.
Lots of walking (at least 3 miles a day), breathing exercises,
time in bed.
Hard to write anything.
More another time,
Glenn
PS More than a few times I’ve experienced what at first seemed like
a desire to smoke. “Hey, wait a minute. I don’t smoke. This isn’t
a desire to smoke - it’s a reminder of the kind of sensation/feeling
I use to respond to with a cigarette.” Right now my new responses are
kind of primitive: brush teeth, wash face, go walk, do breathing,
stretch, lay down, talk to some one, read something, drink water,
have citrus fruit, read posts, stare off into space, sit in sun,
etc. I trust they’ll mature a bit as time goes on. . . . Lot’s of
people here have helped me directly and indirectly in making
preparations and acclimating myself to the CogQuit tools that have
helped me get this far. Thanks to all.
