Staying Quit

I haven't been on the site for several days & feeling a need to type this morning. 78 days definitely in the no woman's land for few weeks now, looking forward to day 80, liking the turnover to the next 10 days. Still struggle with the finishing tasks cravings, watched closely on Friday after a big thing was finished. I believe you all that "practicing" the getting through it will get easier.  It's just such an odd mind f**k (sorry can't think of a different way to say this) that I've commented on before, the feeling I've already failed, that I already have that cig in my hand, experiencing the "romance" of that drag, at the same time the disappointment of having failed. So all of this is happening at once, it's intense, it's confusing, the waves kinda take my breath away. I know I wouldn't be here at 78 days without this site. The tools, the support, the knowledge, the not feeling so alone, the writing, reading your blogs is always uplifting at the same time down to earth, because the reality is we are doing something so big.....be well on this perfect smoke free day

ps: all the snow pics were so fun, haha thinking/romancing actually living in that environment

About the Author
Recently retired at 69 which means I've smoked for over 50 years! Serial quitter like many of you, this time it's different. I've never had an opportunity to stay this present in a quit. In reading old posts of mine, I welcomed feeling everything & do I ever! All feelings are heightened good/bad/indifferent. I've lived in the Sierra foothills since 2003, very happy to be retiring here and be addiction-free.
