        I've been holding out on you.    

      Every night, an hour before I shut off the lights, I watch an episode of Route 66 on Youtube.

      I love their stories, they make a complete circle and they do it in a reasonable time. (51 minutes) Their completeness allows me to get to sleep

quite easily.

      The music is fantastic, you get to see all the old actors that are long gone when they were young, old cars, and I like the black and white. It's softer on the eyes before I go to sleep.  🙂

      It doesn't matter if your quit is in color. It will be if you stick with it.

      Good results will come with time and experience.

      You are the author of your quit.

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.
