I want to help keep you from going in circles

You do not have to want to quit but you have to have a feeling in your gut that it would be better if you did.

You have to be able to listen and do what I suggest

We are not checking ID at the door as I assume most participants will be in the newer generations.

So.

Do you want to quit the first time?

we've been brainwashed to think its "most difficult"

Pshaw (impatience)

If you come with an open mind and willing to change it and your routine, you can do it the first time.

It may take a week or two to get up to speed but if your quit starts before that we will help you individually.

Aztec is going to help me get it off the ground.

Look Up!~ Its a Bird, It's A Plane...It's Superquit!

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.
