Share your quitting journey
Some say cold turkey is the only way.
If that was the only way, I wouldn't be quit.
So I say use an aid if you need to but UNDERSTAND WHAT THE AID IS DOING AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
All the nicotine aid CAN DO is give you some temporary relief from the physical withdrawal while you begin to unlearn the habit part. (the motions, the repetion and the memories connexted to smoking)
THAT'S ALL IT DOES. THAT'S ALL IT CAN DO.
DOES THAT SEEM LIKE MAGIC TO ANYONE?
IT CAN NOT AND WILL NOT KEEP YOU FROM GOING TO THE STORE. IT WILL NOT STOP YOU FROM PUTTING ONE IN YOUR MOUTH OR LIGHTING IT!
Please don't convince yourself that the NRT is all that is keeping you quit. Your decision to not smoke must be your primary backup if you even begin to consider the thought of smoking. You have the power. You always have, you just didn't realize it.
Being WILLING to quit WINS over fighting with yourself to keep from smoking EVERY TIME.
The NRT was never intended to be used forever. If You Use it, don't let it use you!
