Posted by Ann on 7/11/2001, 12:21 pm It is impossible to miss something that you can have. When I start to miss smoking I'm misinterpreting my situation. I'm feeling as though I'm no longer free to smoke, like smoking has been taken away from me. In fact, I'm as free to smoke now as I've ever been. Even though I may want to smoke, nothing is missing. I'm not giving up smoking - I'm choosing something better. Knowing I can smoke changes that sense of loss into a sense of gain. From "Out of the Ashes"
