The "Over" to quit method

Remember the old shows when people were on the 2 way radio when you finished your sentence they would say "over" so the other person knew when they were done talking?


Next time you get a crave, say "OVER" out loud. If you are still craving, say "OVER"  out loud again and again. Think about what you are saying. LOL

This is so SIMPLE a distraction IT HAS TO WORK. Try it please and report back.


This is extremely humorous when you are on the phone with a friend too. They will fall right into it and you will laugh your asses off. (don't do this to the bank or the police)

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.
