I Feel For Those Who Have A Smoker In The Home. I Don't Know If I Could've Done It If Cigs Were Around

0 7 17

But for all the rest of us...

WE have the choice to not keep any around.

And trust me a simple trick in avoiding temptation are easy if you have some

stumbling blocks set up ahead of time.

If you feel like you just have to have one. Drive 2 states away

have someone hide your keys

tie you up.

Have a no smoking sign posted on your fridge and bathroom mirror

whatever it takes

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.
