Is It Worth The Chew? (Is Quitting Smoking Worth It?)

     I have no lower rear teeth so I'm not much good for salads. Every 3 months or so I get a craving for a salad. (I get so tired of chewing te lettuce with only my middle teeth.)

     Today was the day.  (to make more than I could chew)

     I got out my large dog water bowl (I don't have a dog) and went to work. I couldn't find any ripe avocados this morning but I did get some "on the vine tomatoes" and some croutons. I bought some romaine hearts and some Bob's Blue Cheese dressing yesterday.

I also hard boiled a dozen eggs yesterday but obliterated the whites on all but 4 trying to peel them.

There were at least 20 yolks as 8 of them had double yolks. This is why I buy JUMBO eggs. Anyway, I made a deviled egg mashup.

Anyway Quitting is definitely WORTH IT!

SAVE YOUR TEETH IF IT'S NOT TOO LATE

OR YOU MIGHT NEED DENTAL PLATES.

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.
