Notes from Nancy :-)

We took a couple of trains and then got on a boat across the Breinz lake to get to Breinz - a small village on the banks of the lake.  Walked around and visited the shops, and looked at many old chalets.  There are goats and sheep and cows in the pastures on the hillsides.  Found some interesting places to shop....Breinz is the capital of the wood carving industry and the town has many large wooden sculptures.

I am so sad to have this end.....but I will cherish the memory of every minute of it.

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.
