Slaine mac Roth Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 For anyone who is considering quitting smoking, I certainly would recommend going to a group like New Leaf. The suppost you get there certainly goes a long way to getting you in the right state of mind to quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Sounds like you're doing all the right things Slaine. It's good that you went to the support group - frame of mind is probably your strongest weapon. I hate to sound Tony Robbins (movitational dude).... but one of the things I was told was to keep myself in the mindset that I controlled MY body, NOT cigarettes. So look within yourself (go to "that" place in your mind)... pinch your thumb and forefinger together as a trigger of power that shoots through you... and tell yourself "I control MY body, NOT cigarettes. I'm taking MY body BACK." It's a hypnosis tool - so breathe deeply - eyes closed - get to that place - pinch - and repeat. "I control MY body, NOT cigarettes. I'm taking MY body BACK." ASSUME CONTROL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I've recently just passed my one year anniversary "smoke free". There are still times that I would like to have a cigarette, but that feeling passes and I forget about wanting one. Although this shouldn't be the primary reason for quitting smoking, the fact I've saved so much money by not purchasing cigarettes is motivation certainly for not lighting up again. Oh, and I can request the "non-smoking" section of restaurants with pride now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude - the money I save from not buying cigs is a vacation a year for my family of five. A VACATION A YEAR. That's movitation, brother - no question. Now my wife needs to quit - that will be a true financial blessing. The health benefit needs no mention. OH and btw - Slaine.... You'll really know you've conquered the cravings and the habit when you no longer want one after meals, while having drinks, and after sex (or during, depending on what you're into ).

circumstantial tree Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Paganoman, I quit smoking while I was still a Boston resident. It cost a whopping $6.00 a pack and it just wasn't worth it since I smoked nearly a whole pack per day. Another reason too, is that I was getting self-conscious about the smell getting into my clothes. When I would take the "T" (subway) home, I worried that people could smell the stale cigarette smoke on my clothes. Cigarette smoke gets into EVERYTHING. Even now, our apartment is smoke free and I hope to keep it that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-13 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 heh, story about my snowboarding friend. Her mom smokes alot and of course smoke gets into everything like CT said. People were accusing her of smoking when it was just her clothes, not her!! she was vereh upset and I told her that if you told your mom what you just said to me...I bet you she would try and stop or at least smoke less or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 Well, quitting smoking nearly two weeks ago has cetainly helped me today. I've had to have a tooth out and the dentist told me no smoking. If I hadn't have quit when I did I'd really be climbing the walls by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 Its been tough tonight. A couple of friends had their engagement party and, with the amount of people smoking, we had to leave after about an hour to stop me climbing the walls.
