(so I already have a good idea of where it will go)

Is nicotine a submarine that’s sinking you ?
You smoke it steals your breath s’got nutthin better to do
Each 30 minutes you do penance when you put it to flame
Let it go? Well, can you let it? or is it too ingrained?

Your brain is washed in nicotine
It will sink you like a submarine
to the depths and your heart beats very fast
Arteries hardening, plaque attack

Arteries Hardening here comes pain
Nicotine holds you in its chains
On your knees saying pretty please
You have no voice till you make the choice to

Quit just quit, the first three weeks you’ll feel out of it
But push on, and you'll make it stay gone
Until you know you’re over it my friend
This is the only way to find the end and may you never, ever, choose to smoke again

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.
