Stubow, Many people who quit will admit that the reason they never quit before was because of a fear of failure. Why go through withdrawal if it may not work, they wondered? They did not know about the Journey to our Online Quit Program or the wonderful support they could get here. When some people prepare to quit, they consciously try to cut down. One such person wrote to me that in order to be able to do that, she kept her cigarettes outside. For her, smoking had been automatic, and all other attempts to cut down had failed. She wanted to start developing coping methods before the big day came. Another person wrote that he put away his pack, only taking out a certain amount for the morning. He did the same for the afternoon and the same for the evening. This allowed him to discover the time of day when his strongest urges hit. Then he would work on dealing with that time of day. Cutting out a few favorites each day is another way to cut down, such as the ones on the ride home from work, or the first one in the morning. There are other ways of cutting down, and I hope the members will share how they did it. Hope this helps, Melanie _____________________ The SSC Support Team

Way to stand strong Neek and QuitorDie and not give into the monster. Thinking of the benifits of not smoking has made my quit so much easier.

Stubow, Neek & Quite or Die: Ok, for some reason we are all feeling this way today, myself included. I just went to the store and the woman in front of me got a pack and I was like hurry up lady so I can get mine. And then when it was time for me to ask what i wanted, I couldn't do it. I bought a pack of gum instead and came home (i decied to leave work early). Please don't do it, You are all stronger than you think.. It's the Nicodeamon's talking.. Fight it...

Stu -- Don't worry about me smoking. I just tried to trick you into thinking you'd be ruining my quit. I'm still 7 days strong. Take a step back and look at the situation in which the cigs got the best of you. Look at your defenses and beef them up where required. You said it's a war, well the good news is you only lost a battle. I'm a young buck around these parts and have only been lightly smoking for 8 years, so I understand that my habit may not be as permenantly engrained as others, but I have a good idea of the resolve and strength required to push through these days. You have it, we all do. Muster it up and avoid the situation that cause your little slip. Best of Luck, Neek [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 7 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 74 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $17.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9
