Misty and I were talking last night and I told her I feel disconnected from cigarettes and smoking.

She said she felt the same way.

I don't know if its the time spent here or just that so much time has passed since we smoked.

It is the perfect place to be for me because I can be of help here and have zero temptation!

Let's all get there shall we?

 

On another note

I played for 4 hours with a bass player and a drummer yesterday and we recorded the whole thing on video so now I get to go back and edit out the best copy of each song and we can then study it individually and decide what we will each change in our playing style for each song.

This will save an incredible amount of rehearsal time. I write up all the words with the chord changes

above them and that saved us all the time of me blindly trying to teach people original songs with no clue. the video is the next timesaver step

We are learning 22 of my songs to start. We've played together 6 times and it is really starting to tighten up


Have a great day everyone and no smokey!

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.
