PS you do not have to change groups or the people you hang out with you have to change you one day at a time...one step at a time...the only person you can change is you...if you enjoy the group your with i say stick with them...

I really am not changing anything. We are a group of 24 and groups are different every week so everyone gets to be with everyone at some point during the season. I know me and I have a very addictive and routine driven personality....It isn't the nicotine that drives my cravings to smoke. I am very visual. I see it, especially when doing something that I always do...Retraining me isn't the easiest thing for me to accomplish.... Very "who moved my cheese?!" thing

Probably why I am single

"I moved your darn cheese" lol runs n hides quickly.

nah I'm kidding and I hope you laughed at that because person to person I might said an alternate word to darn.

I get being routine oriented as most onus are...here's the trick include "not smoking " into your routines.

I too am visual with the whole smoking thing I might follow a smoker with my eyes however I've noticed the last several weeks I don't do that anymore.

I might and have been known to ask for one however love it when my friends say oh hell no you don't.

you will be ok.

Hugely visual and routine driven here and the visual cues still get me sometimes, especially with my 'smoking buddy' who still smokes joints whilst I smoke a bong. It's not half so bad anymore but it has required much 'digging the heels in' to get through.

Holy cow, I am munching everything in site. I just put in some popcorn in the microwave....I burnt it.....grrrrrr.. Good thing it wasn't the last bag! Of course when I went to put it in there, I found the cup of coffee I put in there to warm up a bit ago.....

ok this made me laugh out loud seriously, not because you burned your popcorn however because you forgot about a cup of coffee in the micro, i did that in my first month felt so lost

all the time and because of feeling lost i started losing things ie

...warmed up a cup one day couldn't find my coffee knew i had it where'd it go ? was 2 days before i found it because i rarely use the microwave...imagine my laughter when i did...

this too shall pass just hold on on tight ok...

Your body is tricking you and so is your mind....fight it trick it back..."holler" if you need to eventually all this goes away...kick the "trickster" out of your
"house"

the trickster clearly being your "cravings" and your "house" being your mind..
