SAVE YOUR BREATH!

Many of us are prime examples of things that can go wrong if you smoke for a long time.

Do you want to retain what's left of your health? Halt some of the damage you are doing?

You can stop smoking or you can join the smokers infirmary and get it "first hand."

Your decision.

 

If you've quit smoking and you are still smokin, you are doing it wrong.

Amen. My favorite is smokers raving about how well this or that quitting method has worked for them.

Hello! You either "is" a smoker or you "ain't". And, if you is a smoker, then whatever quitting meithod you tried was a complete and total failure.

About the Author
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.
