SA??? What could aloha mean by that???? [IMG]http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff211/str8ahd/smartass.gif[/IMG] A22 (excellent question, btw), the one thing I have found most helpful from other people is their faith in me that I can stay quit. I know it's my quit and it's for me, and I believe that. But at the same time, knowing that others have faith that I can do it, and even look to me for an example, makes a really huge difference. Thanks everybody! Q23: What has a "suprise" benefit of this quit?

A21: I was on day four, I think it was, when I found the SSC. It sure seems crucial to my success so far, but who really knows? i was very determined to quit, I had also found chantix. But, I am very very thankful to this site and the people here for encouraging, teaching, and laughing with me along the way. I said WITH, not AT, any of you SAs out there! Q22: What is the one thing that you have found most helpful from other people when you have been tempted to lose your quit?

A20: I noticed a difference in my skin & hair after about 3 weeks, and I've noticed continued improvement since then. If this keeps up, I'll look the age I always tell everyone I am! Q21: Do you think this quit would have taken if you had not found the SSC?

A19: I would tell myself to "make it" one hour at a time,I would be so proud of myself! I did alot of house work and went alot of places that I could not smoke. My favorite activity was going to a "Titanic" exhibit at a musuem. That really made the day fly by! Q20: When did you notice a physical difference in your skin, nails, lungs and whole body in general?

A18) I think we buy into the idea that quitting is too hard or impossible and so we don't think we CAN quit. It's fear - of failure, of the unknown, of turning crazy and angry. That's what stopped me. Q19) What did you do to make the hours pass in those first couple weeks? Remember - when the clock would NOT move!

PS I am amazed how confidently I answered that question! When my quit was a fledgeling, I was a bit worried about doing the Weekend Promise because 2 days seemed an awful long time compared to one day.

A17) No. When you have been quit for a few months, then you would not worry about this question. When you have only been quit for a few weeks, then you are are obsessed with this question! If you have a crisis, come and shout at the SSC before you go anywhere near supplies of tobacco. Q18) What do you think stops us from quitting earlier than we did? This is a great thread Kev!

A15 Obviously we are all obsessing over this question...lolol....I look at the big picture, and ask myself, "Is it really that important?" well, when I remember to, that is ;) Q16 What is the thing you are most grateful for now that you've quit?
