A QUIT KIT.....
------------------------------------
Confidence is nice, BUT doing the foot-work is better. Confidence is the
RESULT of accomplishment, and my money goes on the one who's got blisters.....
1. A drinking container/w straw filled w/ water to keep by your
computer, desk, coffee table.
2. AS3 is Mission Control--read & post.
3. Anti-depressant use is common aid--check w/doctor, consider the new
nicotine replacement aids.
4. Work daily (hourly) on attitude. Don't mope. Defrock lies in head,
i.e., cigs being desirable,
helpful, etc....(they never were). Get ALL of the "romance" of smoking
out of your brain.
5. You know your triggers--don't mess with them early on. (They never
worked before, why step on
the same banana peel?)
6. Don't set yourself up to fail. Don't keep cigarettes--for any reason.
(Would you recommend a
former heroin addict keep a full syringe handy?--a loaded pistol in
reach of children?)
7. From the moment of quitting, treat *all* cigarettes as rat
droppings--never touch them, or hand
them to someone, or empty an ashtray. That's just the way it is.
8. Indulge yourself--quitting is hard work--have blankie, pillow at the
ready. Take advantage of
opportunities to be alone. No time to make speaking engagements,
ets...accept Nobel Prize, etc....
9. Discover cinnamon sticks, straws. Suck air until urge passes.
10. Post warning sign on fridge for others "Sarcasm highly
dangerous--Explosive--use at your own
risk".
11. Be Teflon-coated. No time to rise to the bait. Detach. Settle
scores later.
12. Banish any thought of "Just a puff"--no such thing & it means a
return to a lifetime of slavery.
13. Welcome the cravings--they are living proof of your decision to turn
your life around--let the
monster try to do its worse. Every craving passed, means that much
closer to a lifetime of freedom.
It's worth it.
14. Watch "Cold Turkey" starring thingy Van d**e, and die laughing.
15. Get quit buddies & support them & stay focused.
16. Keep your eyes on the prize
17. Keep your eyes on the prize.
18. Keep your eyes on the prize
19. Keep your eyes on the prize.
20. Keep your eyes on the prize.
