JUST CHECKING IN.

I'm OK. I'm in Oceanside and sorting through all my "stuff" to thin it down and then building my space.

It's going to take a month or so before i'm settled. I'll try to check in about this time every day or two.

I can't reply to your messages because i DON'T YET HAVE INTERNET ACCESS WHERE i AM STAYING.


I am living in a really nice place fully furnished while i am doing the above. Even has a baby grand.

I wrote a song on it yesterday "Heaven On A Hilltop"


If you want to stay in touch or need help send a private sitemail with your regular email address.

I can see messages but not respond on my phone but I can text and email from my phone.

Thanks for all your care and well wishes.

Love you muchly

dale

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
