If you fall or slip or any such sh*t?  You just might be the cause of it.

 

Come here first and post three times for help before you smoke and wait for

someone to respond to each of your posts for help.

 

get phone numbers from a couple of friends here and call BEFORE YOU SMOKE!

 

And Now Thinking moment by moment

if you are going to smoke there are alot of steps your mind has to go through before

you actually smoke

If you bought a pack you had to think about getting out the money to pay for it you had to wait till you got 

outside the store to light up. These were your moments people. The moments you can't choose to ignore.

Or

was a friend smoking and you asked for one or were offered one?

well gee. you had to reach for it and light it up.

Once again. Two small moments you can turn it around and keep yourself from smoking.


It's always a choice You choose to smoke or you do not.

Keep Them Away From Your Face

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.
