I don't think she'll mind my sharing. 🙂

Earlier Yesterday

  We just got internet now that we are in Wergen, Switzerland.  
   
  Our condo was lakefront on Lake Geneva and we took several boat rides around it,  Went to Eltz Castle by paddle  boat.  
   
  OMG - the gondola ride was magnificent, as was the lodge,  the mountains around  Oeschinensee Lake.  We took a rowboat on the lake before we left today
   
  I have probably walked 100 miles and taken about 20 different trains but i am having the time of my life.
   
  I am truly whupped at the end of each day, but it has been wonderful.  The wether so far has continued to be perfect - every single day it has been mid to upper 60's with plenty of sunshine.
   
  And later

Sitting on the balcony looking at the Eichorn and the mountains surrounding Wengen.  Did I tell you I saw a shooting star at the lake by the lodge?  It was SO dark there - the stars were something I have never seen so bright.  It looked like a million of them sparkling down on me.  We are getting ready to head to the grocery.  Staying in a condo with a kitchen.  The saying here is - "if you are in Switzerland, it will be too expensive" - so we will eat in here.  We have actually mostly done that to save $$$.  When we get sick of it or it's not convenient to where we are, we do eat out.

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.
