Maggie PM'd me last night and said she is doing much better by not focusing on finding quit smoking pictures and staying away from the site for awhile but misses everyone here.

Maybe send her a note if you are so inclined

Did you know that for some people, talking or hearing about smoking can be more of a trigger than a help?

If you are serious and willing to listen, I'm sure many of the people here could help you in a more personal way. Just PM them and say, being on the site makes me want to smoke more not less. your ideas resonate with me, would you be willing to help me?

I have helped many in this way and I know others have also.

About the Author

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.
