You don't want to cut off circulation to your "feat."

I cooked a good part of yesterday morning but I made one big mistake.

I left my pasta in the water while I went to Home Depot and Lowe's.

Mush, and I should have started over but I didn't.

When I returned and finished cooking and after tasting, I decided it wasn't worth the

5 meals it would have made so I threw it all away. (Yes, I know, the kids in China.)

It's about choice!

It's not worth smoking

to lose your quit.

You'll pi$$ yourself off and, you'll feel

like shit-ake mushrooms.

You will forget about smoking if you will allow the time to let it happen.

Time is the healer, the distancer, and true living's revealer.

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.
