Your brain to quit

 

You don’t need snow to make you stop

And rain can turn your world to slop

To stay inside ain’t such a pain

Use your friggin brain

 

Can’t clean your ear with your elbow

They say that’s what to  try you know

A cotton swab works better so..

Use your friggin brain

 

Don’t use your hand, use toilet paper

Then drop it in the bowl below

You still need your hand you know

So Use your frigging brain

 

You ask what’s this to do with quitting

We’ve covered ears, we’ve covered ****ing

Your ears are clean and you don’t stink

You used your friggin brain

 

So when you quit and when you crave

Just know those craves will go away

You’ll live to see another day

Push on  and use your brain

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.
