Sounds like you're already dealing with the body cues via breathing and stretching. How many cigarettes are you smoking a day at this point?

How many cigarettes are you smoking a day at this point?

You've identified the body cues and associated them with very reasonable and effective responses. This looks perfect to me. I can't see how you could improve on it. The only thing I would mention, and I'm sure you're aware of this, is that just because we come up with appropriate responses doesn't necessarily guarantee that we'll feel 'better'. We can relieve the body cues of loneliness, but the soul sadness remains. This holds true for situations other than loneliness as well. We can relieve the body cues of stress, but the stressor may remain. We can relieve the body cues of anger, but the event that resulted in anger may remain. Smoking was a response to body cues. When we deal with the body cues, we've dealt with the smoking. Life, unfortunately, is a different matter altogether. <!--more--> When can we catch up in chat? Steve Bonnie,
