Are you going to continue to pay them the big bucks to poison you?

Think of your health. Think of the money you save by not smoking. You can do this. You have to stick with it. When you want a cigarette, just think to yourself, "I don't smoke anymore". The craving will be over by the time you finish thinking that. I quit 3 months ago and I know it's hard. Not smoking won't hurt you, but smoking will.:spank:

11. And think of your kids. |

I watched my mother smoke her whole life. I'm sure that's a big reason I began smoking.

PLEASE don't- you can do it- you CAN beat it- YOU own your body- not a pack of smokes-
Coffee might be making it worse- especially if you enjoyed a cuppa with a fag-
i used an excercise bike- on my last (and successful) quitting effort. Found that i used a cig. break, as kind of an 'interuption' or 'time-out' from work, and that without a smoke, i didn't have cause to pause.
So i put an excercise bike in the other room, and every time i would have stopped work for break, i rode for 15mins- And i not only didn't gain weight, i felt really GOOD- that excercise took out some of the jitters, and the last think i wanted to do was suck in a lung full of smoke, after that.
it's been over 12 yrs now- took me 3 real 'efforts'- but watching a loved one die of lung disease made me never want to do that to myself again.
and hey if 'i' can do it- YOU can- you REALLY can.

10. Here's one thing that helped me. |
|
When I had a craving, I looked at the clock. When the next one hit, I'd see how long it had been since the last one. The more I did that, the longer the period became. It gave me a feeling of progress.
The problem with giving something up is that you have to do it 24/7. You need reinforcement you can measure for NOT doing something.
