I am not saying that I do not feel things, or even that I don't feel them the same way. I think that maybe he bizarreness (and rare it was) of what I had has, has thrown off, in some respects, my ability to connect with that you refer to. But maybe not -- here's the dish â adenocarcinod of appendix mets to intra abdominally. Very OK now, but I'm not sure what's brain and what's not and why in the world anyway I want to spend hours on whether my shoulders are tight. I do need to stop, however. Sorry for being botchy - I hope you'll understand. L: Dear Steve - I’ve done it, but it doesn’t seem to be coming out the same, perhaps because of my medical past.

That's it. That's all. Just take care of your body. The reasons will become apparent, the logic will reconstruct, and the rest will come together. It may take a while, and chances are you'll be unhappy, uncomfortable, and confused through it all. But just take care of your body. Having said that, there is work that was to have been done initially that taught you how to pinpoint just what your body feels and where. Dig out your timer logs. If you've not entered them into your computer, please do so and send them either to the group or to me. If you've yet to do the Timer Exercise, then you've missed an important step. Do it now.

But I have quit several times and I know what you are going through. The last time I knew the logic, medicine and the brain chemistry, but I just wanted a cig so bad I didn't care. As soon as I took that first puff, I found myself suffering from shortness of breath, a racing heart and dizziness. I kept smoking for another couple of months and now when I feel the way you do now, I am going to remind myself how I felt with that first cig. We all want to live long and healthy lives. Good luck to you and let me know how you are doing. Alice On Thu, 13 Jan 2005 19:29:02 EST sylviaed@... writes: I 'm a lawyer- I know the logic. I'm a litigator - I know the medicine.

I will try that I think. I am, however, somewhat averse to running, per se, except on horseback. Actually, and this is obscene, I was able to, on this same horse, light up and still go at a full gallop -- we were that steady. Anyway, running on the street worries me, thought of it makes me feel desperate. I think I can't outrun the thing. Is there a way to face it -- without running. I have not smoked -- or "backslided" as some might put it -- this may be a purely mental exercise - Steve - thoughts on this? L Thank you Mrs.Decker very much. I will try that I think.
