I don’t do that anymore

Put my lips on butts..I don’t do that anymore
Chain smoke ‘till I’m nuts…I don’t do that anymore
Smoke and drive my truck…I don’t do that anymore
I just don’t do that an….y…more

Coughing out a lung…I don’t do that anymore
“Gee I gotta run”…I don’t do that anymore
Smoking ‘till I’m numb…I don’t do that anymore
I just don’t do that an….y…more

Have a smoking fit….I don’t do that anymore
Gotta have my fix….I don’t do that anymore
Where’s my flickin' bic?…I don’t do that anymore
I just don’t do that an…y…more  

You may ask me how?  I don’t do that anymore
Choose to quit right now and don’t do it anymore
You can think of Mao or you can mop your kitchen floor
Just don’t do that an…y…more

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.
