Junk Mail Is As Bad As Spam-But I Won't Smoke Over It

Just went through a stack of credit card offers and credit card correspondence over a foot high

You can't toss it because it has internet activation codes and your address on it.

 

Why do these people think we want this crap? there's like 20 from each company?

Orchard Bank is the worst. They probably have their ATM's in an orchard somewhere.

And there is so much filler. 3  pages and the envelopes?

My poor shredder has a stroke about every 10 entries.

I have to cool it off and pray to the confetti God that it keeps working.

What a way to spend a Sunday!

But, I'm not smoking.

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.
