You Got To Ask Yourself How Much An NRT Is Supposed To Do For You

What is an NRT's part in my quit?

 

An NRT is and aid to take the edge off the physical withdrawal while you learn why, when,

and what drives you to smoke.

An NRT will not guarantee success without you doing your part.

 

Your part is not to be whining and feeling sorry for yourself.

Your part is you wrap your mind around the fact that you have some control

your power will get stronger as you learn about your habit and prepare yourself for a new way of life.

 

You gain momentum and ride the wave to freedom from both smoking and nicotine!

If you're going to use them, don't abuse them

Enough said?

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
