I will never again flick a cigarette out the window, have it fly back in the back seat and have to pull over on the interstate to go back there and find it.
Or drop one and almost have a wreck trying to get it...
Or drop it and have it fall between my legs *very unfortunate*

When I start having stupid ideas, like "hey, I wonder what a cigaratte tastes like now" or "hey, I don't really want to quit" or my favorite "hey maybe they are wrong about it being unhealthy, they were wrong about margarine being good for you after all" I visualize in my mind a nicotine monster (mine looks like the gross little mucinex guy, but smoking a ciggy) and a giant big NO with red letters coming down and smashing him.
I find that really works, and makes me not think about it again for a while.
Does anyone else have a little trick?

Deep breathing is great when I feel myself getting frustrated or angry. It makes me take time out, and I think that is what smoking used to do. Just take a couple of steps back mentally.

I guess I haven't really thought about it, although I have tried to separate smoking from who I am. I used to do other things but I quit those things too because they were bad for me. When I think about smoking I try to associate it with those other things that I quit doing, other addictions I took care of quite some time ago. I am not ashamed, exactly but it is just history, part of the road that brought me here.

Yeah, I know they advertise the heck out of things, and I don't like that they sponsor sporting events and have their names plastered all over. Like an athlete would smoke.
Of course, kids are the only ones inexperienced enough to start smoking, so they have to target them. I read somewhere if a person doesn't start smoking in school it is very unlikely they will ever start.

tryagain - sounds like a very rough night. I hope you have a better day today.
If I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep I usually end up getting up and surfing the internet, and after maybe an hour, I'm ready to go back to bed.
