All three doable friends!

Have you ever slept on those chairs in an airport? I remember the first time. I think it was 18 hours

We had a large group, flew standby (does that even exist any longer)  and, often, we all didn't get to travel on the same plane until the group management figured a go around.

If there were 40 of us, they would book 200 seats and when those people didn't show up, our standby's were good. I don't believe it was ethical but I didn't know about it until after I left the group. We were a non profit group and people at the top weren't getting any huge paychecks.

There are ways to get around problems. SMOKING ISN'T ONE OF THEM.

We can show you how to get through the most difficult parts of quitting.

Let us.

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.
