Share your quitting journey

Treat yourself with some of the $$$ that was going up in smoke.

      Well Christmas came early AGAIN this year. 

Have you seen something lately you were attracted to or needed?

I've been wanting something lightweight to wear over my T-shirt on chilly mornings.

      I have a vest and a number of medium coats that I would wear to the mountains, say to play in the snow, but, I don't want to drive to the store in them. I wanted something lightweight that covered my arms.

And the perfect accessory to go with it, an impact driver.

      I already have a cordless drill that uses the same battery and we're going to be replacing some of the deck boards soon. They will need to be countersunk and screwed. Rather than constantly change bits, a second driver will be very helpful.

      It will also undo frozen nuts and bolts. It has 1530 inch pounds of torque.

Between now and Christmas is the time of year to buy this particular brand of cordless tools. The battery only costs $10 less than what I paid the tool and the battery.

      If any of you are looking to buy tools for someone for Christmas, they have a site called tools of the trade and they rate all of them. If you want my opinion on a brand, send me a pm.

Make sure you treat yourself with some of the

smoking money you've saved.

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.
