absolutely, can you identify what makes you fall off of the wagon?
The physical addiction is absolutely over within 3 to 4 days for everyone.absolutely, can you identify what makes you fall off of the wagon?
If you're in good with your doc, benzos will take care of the anxiety issues.I seem to hit this wall about day four where, no matter what type of method I'm trying, it doesn't matter, I just have to have a cigarette. I could probably do cold turkey for about three days, it would be really tough for sure, but I could do it. But as soon as I hit day four, it's like my patience wears out completely and I just don't care.
I drank a WHOLE BOTTLE OF WINE... and I KNEW better, I can't handle more than two glasses...I feel like I'm dying
Maybe later right now I am concentrating on not hurling up my toast. :clown:

Then comes the hard part, and it is hard, and one must face it.I have.
The human mind is complex, sometimes plainly stupid for it's own good .
It will fool one into believing an addiction is not harmful.
In many cases months, or even years after the addiction seems to have been conquered .
And yes ,I'm no expert, just a witness.
Hang in there Sal, your mind is what will cause you to fall off the wagon. It is your worse best friend.

In my case I learned to ignore all cravings, all mental justifications that seem to pour in, and put up my own defensive wall against myself.I seem to hit this wall about day four where, no matter what type of method I'm trying, it doesn't matter, I just have to have a cigarette.

This year I am cancelling my satellite TV service in favor of signing up for Xplornet. I realized a while ago that I spend more of the time that matters to me on the net, then I do watching TV. And too, the programs that I am most interested in are available on the net..........as long as I have high-speed internet. The chances of any towers coming to my neighborhood - which have been promised to us by oh so many different governments - are nil to none.
I spent December house-sitting for friends who have the latest Xplornet and it was a revelation. Being able to come here, watch and post videos; load the pages heavy with graphics in half the time or less than on dial-up, running several sights at once.......and so much more - that convinced me. So high speed here I come.
Don't let me near a box of chocolates............ever. It has taken me awhile but I've finally disciplined myself to ignore chocolate though during the holidays.............I am sorely tested. I know all about consuming an entire box of chocolates in one day, Kreskin. In my case, abstinence is the best policy.........tough though it may be.
If you read my post I refer to only the physical addiction having a 3 to 4 day time period.No, the addiction (mental and physical) never abates.
Occassionally, when I see my neighbour out with shovel in hand and a cigarette (I learnt not to use the word "fag" for a smoke) in his mouth, the urge is strong to leap over the fence, grab his shovel, dispatch him quickly (I'm not cruel) and leisurely finish his cigarette.
Beware, should your obedience buy you chocolate!
In my case I learned to ignore all cravings, all mental justifications that seem to pour in, and put up my own defensive wall against myself.
I just got so angry at the stupidity bouncing about my mind. For it is just stupidity.
That wall was made entirely of ignore bricks and ignore mortar.
That , and keeping the goal close to heart. The entirely selfish goal of knowing the quality of my life would be better all around.

I don't know why, but I have discipline, and I have one chocolate every day, just like my vitamins, enjoy
that chocolate so much, and they next day the same.
My obedience allows me that one chocolate each day. I HAND MY HUSBAND ONE CHOCOLATE AS WELL, but he isn't
the chocolate lover that I am, so he doesn't care one way or the other.
There was a time when I indulged, but then I didn't feel very good, so that helps.
Hate to disagree with you....No, the addiction (mental and physical) never abates.

May I ask , how could I teach my partner to be happy with just one?
Is this issue of obedience and the handing out the goodies to your husband a learned thing?

Which is normal, The human animal is programed to build fat reserves for the winter....which is why I have always believed in loosing weight starting in the spring or summer.We both have gained a bit of weight during december, but it will be gone by feb. happens every
year.
Thanks Bremusa but it isn't me trying to quit. I already did quit years ago. I was asking SLM if she was aware of her trigger...:smile:The physical addiction is absolutely over within 3 to 4 days for everyone.
