You Save Further Lung Damage When You Quit Smoking-But You Get Out Of Slavery When You Let Go Of Nicotine

Why go halfway?

Unlearning smoking automatically gets you away from the nicotine if you work it right.

There are quite a few stooges on facebook touting the e-cig as the next best thing to mothers milk.

They are still using it over a year after they quit?  When you tell them they are still nicotine addicts,

they press you for what you think of coffee drinkers. WTF does one have to do with the other?

I've never needed a cup of coffee every 40 minutes of a day. Have you???

The nicotine is the addiction, the smoking is the habit.

Could you whip out your e-cig in church and get your hit? Would you feel any more comfortable doing that

than  if you lit up in church? or snorted coke? or shot up heroin?

again

The nicotine is the addiction. The smoking is the habit.

Use the quit smoking aids as aids. Do not think they guarantee your quit.

You guarantee your quit.

 

We can't guarantee your quit. (We will TEACH  you how)

You guarantee your quit

Honor Your Decision

Wear loose socks    (WE can teach you how)

 

You guarantee your quit

You guarantee your quit

Now don't you dare forget!

You guarantee your quit!

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.
