Multiple Steps for Quitting Smoking: Forgive Yourself
by Karin
Cut Bank, Montana
United States
1) Started attending a "Quit Tobacco" class at Adult Education on
01/15/02.
2) Got patches, gum, Xanax, made "fake cigs" and started talking
on line with a friend that is involved with Nic-A.
3) Set a quit date (2/08/02) and chain smoked the evening of
02/07/02!
4) Jumped in the shower on 2/08 first thing, then put on a patch.
Used the gum for the tougher cravings, used the Xanax for the
Really tough times.
5) Forgave myself for having a drag, for stealing a couple cigs
from my hubby, for buying a couple packs.
6) Smoked one whole weekend, but didn't smoke in the house or the
car (?)(4/12-14/02)
7) Slapped on a patch-AGAIN! on 4/15/02
8) Took off the patch, quit the gum, kept the Xanax on 4/19/02.
9) Haven't had a nip of nicotine since...maybe the switch turned
on.
10) Use the book "Out of the Ashes" when I am sitting in the car
or at home and the junkie starts to think!
