I Lost Interest, I Gave Up.

They Let Me Down, I Gave Up.

Blaming Others For Your Expectations

Is A Major Threat To Your Quit.

EXCUSES KILL QUITS

NEGATIVE THINKING CREATES THOSE EXCUSES

A few months ago I eagerly anticipated a new season of my favorite live eagle's nest cam, The eggs, the pipping, and, the birth of two new eagles.

This is the third year I've been watching this nest and typically their eggs are laid within a day or two of the prior years. Not This Year. They were weeks later than prior years.

A week ago, March 25, they had their first egg. On March 28, the second.

I missed it all because, I had given up on them having eggs this season.

Better Late Than Never

Don't Give Up. Don't Let What Someone Else Says Or Does Control Your Quit.

Own It! No One Else Can!

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.
