It can’t be allergies! After sneezing 12 times, okay, 14 and peeing a little in my pants, (hey, getting old sucks) I wonder if allergies are all in a persons head?
When I was young(er) I was living with this guy, (for way too long) and when I was sick or had a bad cough or sneezed and thought it was allergies he would always say “all that shit is in your head”. He would tell me how to “get rid of it”, whatever it was.
As far as he was concerned sickness was “all in your head”. And since the mind is a very powerful thing, why not use it to get rid of sickness?
It all seemed very far fetched to me.
Now I am thinking it to be true because there was this one time last year: The flu was going around and guess who got it? Yes, me. I felt so ill and had the squirts real bad. You know that awful feeling of the full blown flu, stomach cramps, hot/cold sweats and tremors?
So I lay in bed, in the fetal position with eyes closed and relaxed myself so much that I was in/out of this trance like state. If I dared to move I would have vomited right there on the floor. I kept myself in trance like state without moving an inch breathing slow and deep. Overnight I recuperated. The next day I was fine.. I was not 100% but I didn’t feel any cramps or tremors and didn’t feel like vomiting.
So what was it? What happened and how did I do that?
The mind is that powerful. I don’t think I wished it away instead used my brain to think it away. Possibly hypnotizing myself.(?) Thus, making myself believe the illness was out of my body.
What do you think? Could this really happen? Have you been able to do this too? What did the self hypnotizing feel like for you?

Wow! Just WOW. For all the time I have been away and never truly understood why I was beginning to get moody. Beginning? What the heck, I mean, I am moody. Period. No way around it.
My moodiness is because I have truly in my heart of hearts missed writing. Also missed reading my favorite list of bloggers who I read on a daily basis. More than anything I have missed reading my friend MindTweaks.
The last three months have been busy, temperamental, lonely, scary and so much more. I could go on and on but I won’t. (You’re welcome)
Feb 17, 2008 was the last post here. Now I am not going to get all in your face about smoking. Some get tired of hearing about the success of other quitters. (wink)
People hate to hear of others being able to stay quit because they are having a more difficult time with it than I did or than you did. Resentment begins to build and then they just want to beat you up.
One thing I will say is, yes, I am still quit. There is no problem although there are a few bitchin’ cravings but as time goes on they get easier to deal with and I don’t freak out anymore. As much, that’s what I mean, I don’t freak out as much as I use to. So what if I do?
Life is great! I hope yours is too.

Stay busy and don’t give up. That is what I say to all those who want to quit or are trying to quit. For me it was easier, no it was not that easy, but easy enough for me to decide to quit because; A.) I realized how short life really is. B.) Cancer has already come to visit me C.) My mother got lung cancer and died within a year.
So if your list resembles mine in any way, shape or form, it shouldn’t be too difficult for you to quit. Think about your age for a minute…. Okay so you’ve lived 20, 30, 40 years? How fast did that go? Yeah I know, very fast.
Now, what am I going to fill my years with? Friends, family, and doing things for others and myself. How many books can I read in 35 years? How many quilts can I make in 40 years?
The whole point is GET BUSY while you have the lungs and life to do do do things. Or you can sit around smoke get sick and die.
The positives for me are: my house doesn’t smell of cigarettes, my breath does not reeeek of nicotine, food tastes tastier, no coughing fits which is great and I can breath!
Things have been very well these past few days. I am very surprised at myself. Call me a preaching reformed smoker but the only reason I am so preachy is because I have seen many deaths in my family from cancer and it makes me so sad.
Once people understand how real it is they just want to help others. It is not because we are smarter or better than you the smoker. There is no reason smokers should get angry at reformed smokers for saying how we feel.
I have tried to stop smoking several times, five or six times in my life. This time it is going to work because I “get it“. I understand now where as before I didn’t have the right thought process to quit for good. At this time in my life, I feel armed with the right information and can be quite dangerous.
It’s okay to be a quitter at some things!
What are you going to do with the extra years added to your life since you quit smoking?
