"Getting A Grip on My Quit.........."

One of the things that has been a challenge for me is controlling my body
movement when a really quick urge to smoke comes. I usually turn my
head, to look for the pack, or raise my hands or raise my arms as if reaching for
a cig, until it quickly dawns on me that, "Hey, you don't smoke anymore," and
just as quickly as I remember, I go on about my business, as if it never happened.

Yesterday, while watching a movie, autopilot kicked in to smoke, because I had
been sitting still for a few hours. When the urge came, I went through the motions
and then refocused on the movie. During this time, I sneezed. Now, you may
thinking, "So what?" That is something that most folks do. Normally, you would
be correct except that I have a secret attached to my sneezing.

I squeeze, when I sneeze. Yes, you heard it here first!

Yes, I squeeze because of a serious fear of an episode of flatulence, while sneezing.
Long story short, I was in a meeting years back where the presenter sneezed and,
well you know the rest. Can we say, embarressing? We all had to remain professional
and pretend as if we didn't hear it. Yeah sure, pretend that I didn't have tears in my
eyes from trying to keep from bursting with laughter. O-kaaaay.

Anyhoo, my experience permitted me to come up with a fun, funky, sexy, thing
to do, when an urge comes, or when autopilot strikes.

KEGALS!!!!!!

Kegals are pelvic excercises. Yep, the ones that help us with incontinance.

The excercise strenghthens the bladder. But get this, it also helps men and women,
in other sexy ways. Ladies, Kegals help with keeping things tight in your Sacred Space
(vagina/Yoni). Guys, Kegals can help you, have more intense orgasms.

Okay, so here's what I've been doing the last few days. When the urge comes to
smoke, I refocus and concentrate on my pelvis, particularly my Yoni.
I perform 10 sets of 10 Kegals. By the time I am finished, the urge has passed,
and I have just increased the probability of making some mothers' son,
extremely happy, when that time comes.

Now, I'm not suggesting that folks start out doing 10 sets of 10. Instead, start
by doing 3 sets of 10, within a span of five minutes or work up to it. 
Watch your breathing and be patient with yourself. The muscles you're
working are the ones that you use to stop urine from passing. If you are
squeezing your hiney, your tummy, or your thighs, you're doing it wrong.

My Quit is very important to me, but I refuse to let it become mundane,
hum-drum, and rigid. It's my opinion, that we should celebrate Quitting and make
the process as fun and upbeat as possible, so that we can STAY QUIT and
stay positive and encouraged on our journey.

Whelp, I'm gonna go practice my err-uhm. Yeah.

Peace, Love, & NicoFreedom!! to everyone who has Quit or thinking about Quitting.
To my Rocktober '11 Family, where-ever in the world you may be-Stay Strong!!
