Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Well I have to admit I am a smoker of the most dependent variety and I am being lead to quit. I have been a smoker since I was 10 years old and I am turning 50 in May. This is not something I want to do but I feel my K wants me to do. I know in the long run it will be the best thing but oh my gosh this is a biggie for me. I smoke about 25 cigarettes a day. This also means that the last of my devises are gone.(I hope) I already stopped biting my nails about 2 weeks ago. I didn't even realize it until I had an itch and I could scratch myself. My coffee intake has gone from about 10 cups a day down to 2 or 3 and even somedays one. I am not complaining at all. This is all wonderful. I bit my nails all my life that I can remember and my coffee intake took off 12 years ago when I quit drink and such. Before that I didn't drink coffee at all. I am feeling very emotional about this like I am loosing an old friend. But I know if I don't share it won't happen. It's my own fault really because I asked for all my obsessions to be removed and smoking is defiantly one of them. Not only that but I just now realized that I turn to cigarettes whenever I have a difficult, happy, board or whatever emotion and that's just wrong. It should be prayer and rejoicing with my higher power not a cigarette. I see why I am being lead to do this now. Ah well my friends there it is now you all know so please pray for me. Who know maybe I will wake up and the desire to light up will be gone. That's what I am praying for…lol Love and Light Laura Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Dear laura, We are in the same boat together you andme, we can beat these addictions together. I am praying for your success sister. Usually we begin a habit due to something lacking in us at the time, if we can find out what we lacked (love usually) we can remove the core of the problem and have better chances of success.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Laura J Hello! And congrats on the decision to quit! I can tell you from experience, that there will be a day when you will not even crave one! I never thought that possible, but they are more than the days that I do crave one. Blessings, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Tis true! For a long time I craved cigarettes and when I was really upset would go buy a pack, smoke a few and then throw it out. I knew I had made it when I had a very stressful time and did not immediately think of buying a pack. I also knew I made it when I was able to have one cigarette at an office Christmas party without considering going back to smoking. (I don't recommend this, it could cause a relapse) I still dream of smoking a lot. In the dreams I can actually taste the menthol. In October, it will be 10 years since I quit! I know I will never smoke again. You can do it!! Sarita , " Laura " <angelic_shadows2002 wrote: > > Laura J > Hello! And congrats on the decision to quit!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi Laura Joyce, I wonder if the name Laura has anything to do with this. Since the last Shaktipat I have also given up smoking. I even tried to have one last night, took one puff and gave it away, it tasted so disgusting. I've been battling with this for the last year and used to beat myself up when I'd cave in and have a smoke. This time even if I did have one I didn't have that same condemning attitude of myself. I think this is the K working in me slowly and helping me to love myself. The fingernail biting will go soon. Actually it was a comfort to me to find another person around my age whi still indulged in this habit. I've always felt silly for being so old and still doing it. Oh well. About ten minutes ago I realized I've been walking around everywhere with my dress on backwards. Ha. And no-one mentioned it - I got dressed in the dark. It's now afternoon. Lots of love Laura Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
