Ok couldn't stand it, me and Mr Wonderful just had to get on here to read some new blogs ( he likes to read to...very suportive of me and my quit)....we saw this and can not resist.....MY ship is fully afloat - up right and sailing on-ward right on its designated course into a beautiful sunset tonight. I am happy and smiling...actually laughing...guess the break today did me good! I am smoke free and smelling great! And the water around my ship is perfect....not to shallow where I might run aground, and not to deep where who knows what is lurking in the depths.
I dont see the ship taht ran the container ship a ground! That happen a lot! By the time the ship is grounded, the warship is out of sight! You got to watch those submarines too!
You made the connection between the ships and quits! Tim took it ro the next level! I played along! A I think you are right! If you look close I thing you might find a couple of drunken sailors at the bottom!
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.
