Hi all,
The first morning after I quit I got up and wanted my morningcoffee. Then I thought that I would rather have tea, because I never drink tea and I discovered that there was a link inside my head: coffee - cigaret.
I took tea and guess what? No problem at all. Tea and a cigaret was not a link in my brain. As you think about that you will see that every cigaret has it's own link. Talking on the phone, sitting in the same chair as always did the same for me, there was another link. Now when I'm on the phone I sit in my old chair but the link between that chair and a cigaret is gone now. This knowledge helps me a lot. I don't say that quitting is easy though, but that is not true. I just want to share this with you because for me it works perfect and I make it a game when I discover a link. I even can laugh about it. A friend of mine quitted last week and I told her about my links and she looks at it the same way now and for her it's a big help she says. If this helps someone that would be nice. I'm sorry if my English is not correct sometimes but that's because I'm a Dutchy. Good luck and good health to you all.
Dutch Fini :p
