Your help is much appreciated, allthough I don't use many tools to battle the addiction. On May 1st I will celebrate one year of being nicotine free.
I am a well-practiced quitter, having quit three times prior to this during the course of my adult life, so quitting this time did not present as much of a challenge. ONly one thing made the difference: I am now 44 years old, so the stakes are truly much higher than before, I think. The one thing that made it possible for me was the simple act of placing my right hand over my heart and reminding myself that I get only ONE of what lays underneath. When your shoes finally wear out, you buy a new pair, right? Not necessarily possible with a heart. And the heart IS the big Kahuna, in my book. It, and the brain, are what make ALL life possible.
