Another here flying by to give a little encouragement.

One day at a time. One half day at a time. An hour at a time. Five minutes at a time. You can do it.

A positive self talk and application of will-power; sorry no pill, patch or other replacement can substitute for the whole mind over matter, will-power thang and you'll succeed. The pills, patches and other stuffs do help immeasurably in those first weeks and months though.

This time I knew, just *knew* that something was different. There were no reservations, not even one tiny 'well maybe one day', left to thwart me yet again. The fear factor of having just nearly carked it from a humungous chest infection helped no end. Ex-Mrs.D didn't like watching me die in front of her eyes either.

Coming up to 3yrs without even a sneaky puff or lapse of any sort.

...and in that phrase made immortal by the ex smoker the smoker loves to hate. If I can do it, you can too.




365days giving up other harmful substances. It's a leap year so there's one more day to go.
