Rules of the road

5 4 50

Some things work and some things don't.

Most people don't drive with their tongue.

(They've probably devised a way for a disabled person to "tongue drive." )

Many people don't drive with their mind. (Because it's on their phone)

We don't want you to get distracted.

We know a paper bag on your head won't keep you from smoking because,

YOU WON'T KEEP IT ON.

We're here for you

to pay attention to

the things that work

so you don't jerk

and break your quit

but find success

so you let go,

forever.

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.
