Is There Anyone Here Who Thinks

We Don't Pay A Price For Bad Choices We Make?

      Be it smoking, choosing a partner, going out in a lightning storm with a 10 foot metal pole, or, for me, eating pizza at 6pm.

      I paid the price last night. I didn't overeat but that pizza gave me a big problem.

      I woke about 11:30 with acid in my throat and it felt like some went into the entrance to my lungs. I could barely catch my breath from the burning.

I was afraid to go back to sleep and stayed propped up for hours.

  Smoking has consequences. Acid reflux can be one of them.

Make the right choices now or compound your health problems later.

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.
