Daniel Boone.. you is the man !
A Big man, with an eye like an eagle.. and tall as a mountain..
Great Decision .. we are all here to help.
Do you have your quitting supplies in hand ??
some ideas :
1. use the tools here at the site.. they are set up to help us be successful.. never argue with success..
2. get some cravin' buster munchies.. hard candy (lemonheads, redhots, tootsie roll pops, etc.), sunflower seeds, peanuts...
3. Get rid of all cigarette paraphenalia... ashtrays, lighters, extra packs of cigarettes.
4. Clean your car out completely or get someone to do it for you as incentive. Your girlfriend might believe you if you make her part of the process.
5. Tell your girlfriend that you could use her help and support. Women as you know can be really great supporters.. we are naturals.. naturally beautiful, naturally smart, naturally strong.. naturally ready to shop, well.. you know what I mean..
6. Stay away from people who smoke if at all possible. Take a break from any influence.. do it purposely..
7. Pamper yourself.. lay around a bit more.. remember you are in withdrawal and you may need more rest.. you are entitled.. you deserve it and don't let anyone tell you different.
8. Drink lots of water and tea and cranberry juice (there are lots of kinds.. I like cranberry-grape ). This wil help flush that nicotine out of your system faster.. make you feel better in the process too.
9. After a few days, reward yourself by spending that money you would have used for smokes. More money will be coming !
10. Recognize the Nico Demon. He is the little voice trying to convince you to smoke. He will try anything to get you back. He is your pusher and he doesn't want to leave easily. You have to kick him out..
11. come here often and tell us how it's going.. We can help explain things that are happening..
Congratulations and welcome dude..
