I really never meant to start to begin with. But nearly 7 years later, I had to absolutely regain the power to become a non-smoker. I searched online and found a hypno-therapist in my area who specializes in smoking cessation. It was more painful committing to doing it, than actually doing it. Hypno-therapy changes the way you think enough, so you don’t have the cravings. All I’ve had to deal with is reminding myself that it is not my habit anymore. It’s been almost 3 weeks, and I’m doing very well. I enjoy breathing better, feeling better, not feeling guilty, smelling better, and having more and better energy. And I don’t feel awkward or uncomfortable being around people who smoke.

Being so formatted, yet open-ended made it too difficult for me. I need a little more spontinaety, and commonality with the group. Demographically I was unique. The Formality was too intimidating for me, and it created self-conscious anxiety for me in my personal business. When I got out of it, the anxiety dissapated, and I felt I gained competent use of the tools I had learned through my painful 8 month stint.
I think this is mainly just me. Many people get a lot out of it. My husband loves it. And many groups are less formal than the one I was in. I’d like to just watch, but that’s not allowed.

I love animals and they love me. Our household is way overstocked on cats. Our adopted mama had her litter of 5 on April 27th. They are just about ready for homes. Cats are great for talking with, for light-hearted play, and for sharing warmth (especially a mid-day nap). It is easier to slow down your pace when you need to, with a cat in your life.
