Give it an inch it'll take a mile and steal your breath with an empty smile

Stink up your hair, yellow your finger, burn holes in your clothes without even thinking

What do you have? What do you give? What draws us close to your grey wispy shiv?

We’ve been asleep, accepting your truth but now is the time we are choosing to live.

Open those eyes, take back your life. You have control if you’ll only decide!

We’ll show you how, give you the tools, you can begin to make smoking the fool

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.
