Share your quitting journey
Common sense got me through my first two weeks. My third day I realized smoking was a choice. It made me laugh. It became a game. From then on I laughed when I had the thought of smoking. By the time a week had passed I was automatically thinking of laughing, not smoking. I was playing guitar at a friends house 10 hours a day.
I learned nothing and did no intentional mental preparation before I quit but, I had no fear of not making it, I entered into it open to the experience.
Over a four week period before I quit, I had proven t myself I didn't need to smoke just because I thought I did or would have automatically done so in the past. I simply told myself to wait a little longer when I got the urge to smoke.
No stress. No denial. I went from 20 a day to 5 a day and never focused on quitting smoking.
I had no idea what to expect when I got off the patch my second week.
I had to get things done. I couldn't play guitar 10 hours a day forever.
This is where knowledge had to be gained.
I joined a quit smoking website and learned many of the tips and tricks presented here.
Willingness, not Willpower!
Onward and Upward!
