Step 4 if your hands are feeling emptiness grab a couple of rubber bands or paperclips to play with, and let your nonsmoking friends know you're quitting. Practice saying, "No thanks; I don't smoke," in case you are offered a cigarette.
Step5 tell your friends you quitting smoking avoid friends that smokes

Made a mistake learned from it
setup my first date quitting smoking Jan 22 2013
Received first quitting smoking treatment On Jan 22 2013 at 1:45 p.m. Started quitting smoking first few days and night was rough
The only thing I was thinking 1 cigarette won't hurt me. My sweetheart said I think why you want to quit smoking will you please try the hard candy 2 please the craving for a cigarette but told her not same she kept repeating to try the hard candy and I will try it.
But I see still trying to learn habits my first mistake is keeping open pack of cigarettes in the house February 1 2013 it was time to change my patch I was very angry I didn't put a new patch on I grabbed my open pack of cigarettes I'm outside took 1 out let it with a lighter took 1 puff couldn't hold it in my mouth it was nasty that was my first mistake keeping a open pack of cigarettes in the house. So I had to start my quitting smoking date over it is February first 2013 at 546 pm and the afternoon. From February first 2013 at 5:46.pm it's been 9 days 13 hours in 37 minutes without no cigarettes no craving and no triggers. If I never grab that cigarette and made that mistake it was give me a bin 20 days 13 hours in 5 minutes but I am not perfect and I learn from my mistake and I created a quitting smoking chart That help me a lot I don’t miss the cigarette or going outside
Think about why you want to quit smoking
remove any cigarettes matches or lighters from your home or your car
Step 1 purchase any hard candy or gum
Step 2 relearning new habits and keeping yourself busy avoiding your old habits
Step 3 if you're busy for 3 minutes or more you're craving well go away.
Step 4 if your hands are feeling emptiness grab a couple of rubber bands or paperclips to play with, and let your nonsmoking friends know you're quitting. Practice saying, "No thanks; I don't smoke," in case you are offered a cigarette.
Step5 tell your friends you quitting smoking avoid friends that smokes

Step 1 removing is nicotine patch couple times.
Step 2 what trigger you to think about the cigarettes and how or when and where it happened
3 step 3 how does it feel without no nicotine patch.
It's been 8 hours and 20 minutes without any nicotine patch from 907 o'clock in the morning is 528 pm afternoon still no patch just a little bit cravings some triggers I I puked a lot but I'm doing okay you do the math from 9 07 a.m. from 530 pm in the afternoon how long I've been without no nicotine patch and you tell me if I'm strong or weak only trigger do I need to control is when I smell cigarettes somebody smoking pot or buy me some e cigarettes with nicotine or some gum and some hard candy now I need to support from someone that can tell me I could do this. My goal is to do it 24 hours my consular wants me off the nicotine patch because some people using for years in years and she told me she doesn't want me to use the nicotine patch for long so I have to follow some steps and my doctor wants me to follow her to directions so I am my goal is to make it to 24 hours but if I get a heavy duty craving. Put patch back on vet me ask you a question who is using nicotine patches who wants to use the nicotine quitting smoking treatment 4 the rest of your life. My counselor told me that I'm doing good but I should try step way the nicotine patches so I am trying she said I didn't have to if I'm not ready but if I feel that I smoke 1 cigarette and that's it and I feel great right now it is 540 in afternoon I just want to get off the nicotine patches I don't want to be like 1 of the drug users that have to be stuck with and patch for years in years. Thank you everyone for the support have a great day
