Never Look Back

I've been here a little over three years now. In that time I have seen so many come through this place. It's

taken some numerous tries but they finally believed they could do it and did.

That's what makes this place work, finding the belief in yourself by knowing others have done it and

receiving their encouragement to not falter.

It makes me proud of each of you. It's not a self pride, its your pride in yourself that makes me celebrate

your victory over tobacco and nicotine. When you get it, we all rejoice.

Everyone may have their own little tricks for getting over the humps but in the end, the realization that it's

always a choice is what is paramount, 1 month quit or 5 years quit.

This is where it starts and this is where it ends the cycle of addiction.

Its not a fear of restarting, it's the knowledge that you have a choice instead of being bound.

Do not ever forget this.

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.
