When you registered you said: .............................and smoke even more when out shooting pool and drinking beer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How does whyquit .com respond to the following statement "I like to smoke when I drink and I find myself smoking even more."

malcolminthemiddle 41 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hi Ravisher, When you registered, you said: ...................................It is not the quitting that is so difficult, it is living with the craving that I cannot stand. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your homework is to complete the following: " Just like the lingering thought of a nice juicy steak, lobster in butter sauce, or fresh baked hot apple pie, you can make yourself "think" about having a cigarette all day long, if that's what you really want to do. .........................................."

malcolminthemiddle 41 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 h90, When you registered, you said: ........................In my office incl. my wife everyone is smoking and cigarrets are all the time in reachable arrea............................. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Complete the following statement: " Procrastation recovery denial makes the next puff of toxins easier to suck down. Nicotine tells this junkie that they cannot quit until their friend or loved one quits too as they're around their smoke, smells, cigarettes, breath and ashtrays, and quitting is thus impossible. It's pure denial and often both friends or loved ones use the other as their excuse to remain enslaved. .................................................." Link to post Share on other sites
