  Made a  mistake learned from it 

   setup my first date quitting smoking Jan 22 2013 

  Received first quitting smoking treatment On Jan 22 2013 at 1:45 p.m. Started quitting smoking first few days and night was rough 

  The only thing I was thinking 1 cigarette won't hurt me. My sweetheart said I think why you want to quit smoking will you please try the hard candy 2 please the craving for a cigarette but told her not same she kept repeating to try the hard candy and I  will try it. 

  But I see still trying to learn habits  my first mistake is keeping open pack of cigarettes in the house February  1 2013 it was time to change my patch I was very angry  I didn't put a new patch on I grabbed my open pack of cigarettes I'm outside took 1 out let it with a lighter took 1 puff couldn't hold it in my mouth it was nasty that was my first mistake keeping a open pack of cigarettes in the house. So I had to start my quitting smoking date over it is February first 2013 at 546 pm and the afternoon. From February first 2013 at 5:46.pm it's been 9 days 13 hours in 37 minutes without no cigarettes no craving and no triggers. If I never grab that cigarette and made that mistake it was give me a bin 20 days 13 hours in 5 minutes but I am not perfect and I learn from my mistake and I created a quitting smoking  chart That help me a lot I don’t miss the cigarette or going outside 

  Think about why you want to quit smoking 

   remove any cigarettes matches or lighters from your home or your car 

  Step 1 purchase any hard candy or gum 

  Step 2 relearning new habits and keeping yourself  busy avoiding your  old habits 

  Step 3 if you're busy for 3 minutes or more you're craving well go away. 

  Step 4 if your hands are feeling emptiness grab a couple of rubber bands or paperclips to play with, and let your nonsmoking friends know you're quitting. Practice saying, "No thanks; I don't smoke," in case you are offered a cigarette.

  Step5 tell your friends you quitting smoking avoid friends that smokes
