Good Morning

This is a great place to learn to quit smoking. not so great for people who want to advertise.

Learn is the key word.

Smokers are oblivious to their plight while they are smokers.

I think it must be some form of denial.

Whatever it is, you need to know what you are up against.

It's probably not what you imagine.

Unlearning the psychological connections to the repetitive actions and ritual is the key.

You only do that in time and by making other choices as a non smoker until you see the changes so you can accept the different reality and cope with your emotions in other ways.

My page may be of help to you.

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.
