I Still Like The Smell Of A Cigarette Wafting On The Breeze At The Beach..But I Wouldn't Follow It Around

Or stick it under my nose....

I don't enjoy a roomful of people smoking...

and i hate the stench on people who smoke..Reek Reek Reek

So there are some memories that may never go away but that shouldn't make us smoke.

They are memories, not orders from a higher power.

I saw my counter turn over at 1444 days 44 minutes and 44 seconds this morning.

who would want to go back?

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.
