we are here to help you succeed



but


we expect you to invest at least as much or more focus and energy into your quit as you expect of our ability to help you.


we each may have quit slightly differently but there are similar stages in all  our quits.

We all agree that, if you don't have the right attitude you need to GET THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.

Can't you tell that WE ALL HAVE IT? LOL

OF COURSE YOU CAN.  THAT'S HOW YOU WILL SUCCEED AT THIS!

Well, we want to give it to you. if you hang out awhile you will find it to be contagious.

this little secret that "it doesn't have to be the way you thought it would"

That's what we are passing on.

we know all the tricks so get in the game and hold on!

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.
