If I asked you how to make an inside out T-shirt right side out

would you have to think about how to do it 

or

would you physically have to do it to remember?

Do you see how deep and automatic smoking is/was?

(MY T-Shirt solution  You pull each arm through the neck one at a time, then,

you pull the body through the neck, shake and fold.

Hoggie was watching me and I was trying to imagine his thoughts.)

Took a ride Tuesday.

I love that green color at the top of the wave.

and Brenda_M‌, thank you for my alien commemoration.

I will get back to you with some answers when I do my life's story.

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.
