John Lennon had a great line in the song "mind games" He said "taking the future out of the now" aka "stay in the moment"

Good Luck on that!!! If it was a choice between drinking alcohol & smoking cigarettes I would go with the cigarettes. You are very brave & strong to try to stop both! Hang in there and I wish you good luck------Bunnypie

Sending prayers. I found out when I quit it was about staying in the moment and working the 12 Steps. They worked for my other addictions.

I was given the advice to mentally put velvet around my buttons that way when they do get pushed it won't be so hard & it will be muffled. I get my buttons pushed when I see lots of people looking at my posts on the Chipping Away column but don't post a reply. I have to put thick velvet around my buttons!

I read the book Daily Reflections for my quiet time in the morning. It is a book of reflections written by AA members for AA members. The page for today January 20th was on a quote from the Big Book page 87. It says "As we go through the day we pause when agitated or doubtful and ask for the right thought or action" It says we should put a space between impulse and action. This is real good advice but I can't say that I always follow it.........Bunnypie

One of the more enlightening parts of the Big Book. We do have freedom of choice.
