Quitting is something that only you can allow to happen. Only you can allow your success.

Only you can allow yourself the time  to remove

"THE LUNG TERM POACHER"

from your life.
LET IT GO  Allow it out of you.

I saw something I’d never even dreamed of seeing.

A street sweeper going 70 miles an hour on the freeway! Mind blowing. I'm glad I wasn't driving.

WHO GNU?

Life is better, without the addiction and the addict.  The addict never let me relax for too long.  Kicking out the nic addict was the best thing for me.

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.
