(try singing this to the tune of the old grey mare for now)

 

I’d like to go fishin’ (why?)    Just for the Halibut

 I won't be smoking over it   Only lemon butter it

 Then put it on the grill (why?) Just for the halibut

 No other reason than that

 

I’ll make a nice pilaf  (why?) Just for the halibut

 I won't be smoking over it   Be makin' some asparagus

 Might even make a salad (why?) Just for the Halibut

 No other reason than that

 

How ‘bout Gewurstraminer (why) just for the halibut

 Just for the Halibut  I won't be smoking over it!

 and then I’ll make dessert (why?) just for the Halibut

 No other reason than that

 

I think I’ll take a nap  (why?) Just for the Halibut

 I won't be smoking over it, I got a Little sleepy but

 then I’ll take a *rap   (why?)  Just for the Halibut

 No other reason than that

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.
