Tomorrow, Tomorrow

I'll Quit You, Tomorrow

You're Only A Day Away

(unless I buy another pack)

Are you putting off quitting so you can keep smoking?

These are hard questions, I know, but,

what are you accomplishing by waiting until tomorrow?

Are you going out to drink and smoke your brains out

to proclaim your allegiance and celebrate your last act of smoking?

One last hurrah?

WTH?

Have you decided you are willing to see it through?

or

Are you playing the same old quitting game with yourself?

They say if circumstances are right,

one cigarette can cause a stroke or heart attack.

Your heart beats just the wrong way

while you're enjoying the smoke that killed you?

Are you ready for that consequence?

Wouldn't it be a shame if "that one" happened while you were stall?

The longer you wait to quit again

It makes it much harder to do it friends.

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.
