and let me tell you friends

you will have a much better chance of success if you let the crap roll off your back during your quit.

don't automatically react as you did before when you smoked, or go off on someone using the "I quit smoking" "I could kill you" excuse.

Your thinking is going to open up if you let it. LET IT!

This will be the biggest change in who you are and who you will become if you let it.

LET IT!

DON"T HOLD BACK !

THIS IS YOU NEVER HAVING TO SMOKE AGAIN !

FLOW WITH THIS!

Observe yourself from a 2nd party point of view and see how you act when you crave.Go look in the mirror and watch yourself jonesin' for a cigarette at the beginning of your quit and you will surely stop this addiction.

It's not pretty.  we all have to go through it.

WEAR LOOSE SOCKS!

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.
