So I have two stories that keep screaming to me, “exactly how far will the sub-conscious go to get what it wants?”
I’ve never been sure about the power of my ipod or player for these programs, (even though they seem to be working, I’ve just always felt they could be working better). My husband bought me a new ipod for my b-day and I saw a player for sale that I wanted to buy. And by the by, what a great deal I got! It was originally $119 and I got it for $4.95!!! Yup…go me! But, I actually spent a pretty long time in the store looking around. That’s not really all that unusual, except for the fact that as early as the ride there, I kept having really uncomfortable feelings and hearing in my head, the words, do you really need this? The one you have works fine. And look, there’s so many other things here you could buy that you’d really like. It was strange to say the least. I really think there was a part of me that didn’t want to buy it, but.
I did buy it, and when I went to bed last night, I couldn’t stay awake for more than a half an hour, which told me, I did the right thing because it’s working better.
I really wish someone would take the initiative and search players and earphones and put their findings on thread here for us not so techno people! Although, I am now all set!
Onto my second story…
The electronic cig I smoked is called Infinity. I started with menthol and a few weeks before I quit, they didn’t sell them anymore, so I was smoking regulars. I get them at a convenience store down the street from my house.
There is an elderly man who works there, who has always been very sweet to me but never liked me smoking. When I bought cigs, he would say, “you need to stop this”. When I switched over to the electronic he said, “this is better”. When I was smoking them for a while he’d say, “you need to stop smoking these now”. The whole time I’d answer I’m working on it!
I hadn’t been in the store since last Sunday, and had to stop in for milk yesterday. As soon as I walked in the door, he said, “your infinity’s are on sale”. They normally cost $9.99 and are suppose to last the same as two packs of cigs. I looked at him and said, I quit, with a slight laugh, thinking…figures. When I was at the check out (they are right behind it), I saw they were on sale for $3.99 last chance sale. I guess they’re not selling them anymore. I actually stood there a couple of extra seconds thinking, I could just buy everything they have left and it would still be less then I’ve already spent on them before. It was crazy tempting.
Soooooooo, was my sub-conscious trying to tempt me to smoke or saying good thing ya stopped, you won’t be able to buy them here anymore?

If you're searching for that one person that will change your life, take a look in the mirror!
