Share your quitting journey
I'm feeling a little irked. I know many states offer a quit line or program where one may qualify for free patches to quit. I appreciate this because a 2 week supply of patches costs the same as a carton of cigarettes, which I usually bought every 2 weeks. However, in order to qualify for these free patches you must enroll in phone coaching sessions.
Talking on the phone is a trigger for me! I smoke when I talk on the phone. I chain smoke on the phone. I sit in my chair on the patio and I smoke one cigarette after another the entire time I'm on the phone. Anytime I have to make any phone calls that's what I do. So, for the past week I've relied on texting and facebook to communicate with family and friends because I know the moment I get on the phone I will want a cigarette badly!
But, in order to get 10 total weeks of free patches, which adds up to about $280, I have to talk to a smoking cessation coach for around 15 minutes for a total of 5 sessions.
Why does it have to be over the phone? Why can't it be online chat?
Anyways had to rant to someone about that.
