| tick, i quit smoking twice for about a year. the seconded time i quit
was a real big lesson... i already knew about the third week that
cravings erupted causing many to pick to smoke again so i was ready for
that....
but about a year later i was driving home from work one night and wanted
a smoke so bad that i opened my ashtray and found the smallest cigarette
butt and had no matches..
so i pulled into a seven 11 and bought smokes and matches... i took a
few drags and felt loaded and better.... the next day i took a couple of
drags and put it out... later in the afternoon i smoked again...
and because of two smokes and no cravings i told my self... heck i can
smoke i'm not addicted at all... to my surprise by the end of the week i
was smoking as much or more than before i had quit.... i was hooked.
then last year i met up with some msers friends for a our yearly get
together in vegas.... i payed no mind to all the smoking going on as
they use something to kill the smell.
four days later i am home and out of no where the cravings were back
worse than i'd ever felt.... so bought some nicorette gum. and chew it
occasionally along with regular gum.....
i'm now hooked on chewing so i work hard when i remember i'm chewing
to throw my gum in the trash.... then what do i do? i end up chewing a
carrot...
what works for you is important..... for quite sometime i reached for
smokes... when writing i'd pause for a moment and then the pen ended up
between my lips for a drag on a smoke....
the smoke and coffee when i was smoking got me up in the morning for my
good smoke and coffee. of which i don't do either of anymore ....
i'm cheering you on:-) and as i look back over the years i realise it
has changed my whole pattern of life.... and i'm happy knowing there's
no monkey on my back..... what i do hope is that are friend donn:-) did
not notice my chomping away because i tried not to... my best to
you..... dory
