back from visiting daughters
Greetings all,
I had a nice encounter today with an
acquaintance I have not seen for a few
months.. I told her I had quit smoking and
she told me she had quit two days ago..
so I gave her the cog website address and
recommended she join the email list as it
has been such great support. I told her a
bit about breathing deeply and she picked
up immediately on the value of this approach.
I just returned from a week of travel to
visit daughters. I am really really happy to
be not smoking.. it has been almost two
months for me now, and even though it has
been very hard at times, the emotional
rollercoaster for me… actually… f***king
hard SO hard but one thing that never
wavered for me is that I do NOT want
to be a smoker, even if at times I have
wanted to smoke, I don’t want to be a
smoker, and can’t have it both ways, and
the urge passes quickly, and these lungs
are so glad to not be aching and choking
and wheezing, so whatever it takes, to
make this change permanent, I am
willing to go through it. Thanks as always
to Steve for his generosity and patience.
Very best and warm wishes to all, Annie

Hi Annie,
Great to hear from you. And great work on your quit. And thank you for
spreading the ‘gospel’
That is such an important point, that we can be so very uncomfortable and
still make rational choices based on our foundation statements. And that
simply because those statements reflect what we honestly want.
Thanks and congrats on your 2ish months well done.
Steve
