Yes, I kicked the "fi" out of it. I simp-fied it!

🙂

There's something about getting to the point,

so I will.

Simplifying any problem is the best way to find its solution.

Right From The Start

Quitting smoking is

MIND OVER MEMORIES

No Need To Resist.

You build new non smoking memories and, in time,

they overtake the ones connected to smoking.

This applies to the psychological addiction only,

which is why I believe people go back to smoking after they've been quit

and, off nicotine for 6 months or more.

The physical addiction is more of a choice than unlearning.

It is a matter of getting it out of your system while replacing the dopamine with other choices and activities so you don't miss the physical

"mood/mind lift" you got from nicotine.

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.
