Just Smoke

Here's an exercise for those of you who are anticipating your quit date. It's from the book 'smoke-free smoke break'. (Zen trainers instruct: when you eat, just eat; when you walk, just walk. The idea is to commit to the present, to pledge allegiance to the here and now of your life, whatever you happen to be doing. For one day, when you smoke, just smoke. Kill the TV, set the coffee aside, no computer, no conversation; in other words, avoid multitasking by mixing smoking with either work or pleasure. Just smoke!).            

  I am a pack and a half a day or more!!! Funny when I really focused on smoking it wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be. I found that I just wanted to get back to whatever activity I had given up to go smoke.

Do you feel like the day you smoked was just wasted and up in smoke?  That's an ugly thought.  Great post, thanks.

I did that and believe it or not I WAS BORED SMOKING!!! That really does work, and of course helps to get throught minute by minute. Great post!
