Did anyone see the news recently about how the estate was closing the Roy Rogers Museum? Unfortunately there weren't enough visitors to support the place. I'll always remember that singing, clean cut Cowboy and his beautiful horse "Trigger".

I always thought it was interesting that Roy had Trigger stuffed after the horse passed on. Now, as I start day 186 without my own old "nag" , I was thinking about how I would love to stuff my own "Triggers".

It seems I smoked after a lot of things. I'm still triggered after dinner, after a movie, after sex (not so often anymore, lol and tbh.). So far I'm sticking to the recipe and I don't smoke. But I am honestly wanting and waiting for my Triggers to find a dusty corner of my mind.

Hi Pawr ... it takes time for triggers to find those dusty corners...just need to be vigilant ... and tell them to go to...well you know...LOL...sad about the Roy Roger Museum...I see this happening with more and more museum’s from that era...I like your analogy to stuffing those triggers...we can somewhat by finding new things to do with those triggers....You are doing it...no matter what...Have a beautiful Friday ~ Colleen 186 DOF

Good to see you posting! I do want to remind you that there are some triggers that we don't get a lot of practice relearning: change in seasons, holidays, family dramas, vacation moments - and my very last one, the "reward" at a break in yard or housework. Even after almost seven years, I STILL get a passing thought (and that's all it is) when I take a break from physical work that "a cigarette would be nice right now!" Since I know better, it's easy to dismiss, but I am amazed that it is STILL there!
You might want to find something to replace the after dinner, a movie, or sex triggers. Can you, perhaps. help to clear the table after dinner, go for a quick walk around the theater neighborhood, or find a bit of chocolate? The better you get at changing those routines up, the sooner the triggers will be a thing of the past. Your journey is not QUITE over!
I hope you will stop back to celebrate your one year anniversary!

Like the analogy. I was a big western fan growing up, including Roy Rogers. Big congrats on 186 days!

Awwww---so sad....Roy Rogers and Dale Evans; Lone Ranger, Lassie; Zorro......all those old shows are fading from people's memories. I used the phrase "Timmy's in the well!!" the other day and the "younguns" had no idea what I was talking about.
Stay Strong you are doing good........the more times you do not give in to a trigger....the sooner it dies.

"not sure what he did with Dale!" ON THE FLOOR! Love you sense humor and your analogy. God but we're old. Not too many of us remember Roy and Dale. A much "kinder" time. In certain areas anyway.

So you're five 1/2 months into this quitting thing now, I believe. Yeah. Triggers aren't all stuffed by then. And the Nag keeps nagging. I think that's why there are so few who make the 6% list. Because of that darn nag, that trigger neigh, that pull from the dear old horse that you rode for years and years and years. It's the fond memories that keep those triggers alive.

You'll get there. You just have to keep riding the new horse and discovering the new joys in the smoke-free saddle. Keep sticking to that recipe that's been workin' for you so far.

I'm right behind you at day 173, and the triggers are there when I least expect them. Like right now - having coffee and just hanging out. This was my smoking time. It no longer is, but once in a while, I think about it. My husband assures me this stops eventually. He's been quit for a decade or more. I'm trying to believe him

Great blog...we all wanted to stuff our triggers but the truth is that we can disarm them...we are done stuffing. When we moved to Virginia, we hired a carpenter to do some work on our house, his name was Roy Rogers. Honest to God and he said GOLLY ALL the time. He really was hilarious.

I certainly remember all of those old westerns...my entire family watched them.

You are doing great.

    There is no way for me to tell you first of all, how often he said it and how long that word was when he said it, it was much like Gomer Pyle. My kids and grandkids started saying it and kept all of us laughing much of the time.
