For the people who haven't yet quit and are toying with the idea of quitting smoking

Those smoking days just keep stacking up, don't they?

People often try to quit smoking and fail and then, smoke for another year or two before they come back.

Have you considered what another year or two of smoking may bring?

I'm going to say emphatically, NOTHING GOOD!

Get Involved here for awhile and you will never think of smoking in the same way.

Perhaps you will choose to smoke again but, quitting will always be in the back of your mind.

It's probably back there now. Bring it out into the light and let us help you be free of smoking for good.

YOUR GOOD!

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.
