Smoking built a wall, knock it down, let it fall.

Some walls are made of stone Some times we build our own

Some walls will stand for years Some wash away with tears

Some walls are lined with gold Some hearts stay safe and cold

Some walls are made from doubt Holding in and keeping out

If there's any hope for love at all Some walls must fall

If there's any hope for love at all Some walls must fall

Some walls are built on pride Some keep the child inside

Some walls are made from fear that love let go will disappear

If there's any hope for love at all Some walls must fall

If there's any hope for love at all Some walls must fall

How will you ever know what might be found

Until you let those walls come tumbling down

If there's any hope for love at all Some walls must fall

If there's any hope for love at all Some walls must fall

If there's any hope for love at all Some walls must fall

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.
