Morphing
Once
I had reached that 6 weeks milestone, I felt like I had "settled"
into my quit. I continued to reinforce my ATTITUDE, to practice my
cog quitting skills by using the ABC module and I continued to write
and post to the AS3 newsgroup.
This
set of posts was written in the period between about 6 weeks and 4
months. I experienced a lot of changes during this time as I went
through a gamut of realizations. I finally understood that I was peeling
away the smoke-covered layers of emotions and exposing them to "fresh
air" for the first time in many years. Some were wonderful realizations,
others were more painful, but all were necessary and giving me a new
picture of the non-smoking Pat.
