Some Things I May Never Get Used To But Not Smoking Is Not One Of Them

"I don’t think I could ever get used to it"…..

This could be said about many things

Slimy okra

Not getting my morning cup of coffee


When I was in the hospital last week, they would not allow me to have coffee because of it over stimulating my heart.

I was never a major coffee drinker but I really liked loved that one big mug of coffee
to wake me up in the morning. It also got the wheels down below turning,
and, I liked the taste.

I kept about 6 of the major brands in the little 12oz bags, (variety is the spice of life)
I would buy a half gallon of ½ & ½ every two or three weeks.

Then, I would always “sweeten to taste” with white sugar.

The day after I got out of the hospital I bought some DD Decaf and a ½ gallon of 2% milk.

Today is the first day I tried it.

Honestly, it left something to be desired.
So, either I will get used to it or I will  just stop drinking coffee. I haven’t DECIDED yet.

Either way it isn't going to kill me.

Smoking Will.

It will take your breath away a little at a time

PLEASE DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO QUIT SMOKING.

There is no good excuse you can come up with to keep smoking.

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.
