I can see that. I'm a martial artist and one of the things we train for is called muscle memory. It's when you practice a technique to the point there is no thought involved, it just happens. I did the same thing when I quit snuff (correct verb tense here). I said to myself over and over, no thank you I don't dip. It got to the point whenever the AV tried to even start to fuss about snuff "no thank you I don't dip" fired off pretty much on its own. It worked very well for me then. I am doing the same thing now that I have quit drinking except it's " no thank you I don't drink". It is a reflex, no thought required. It says to the beast over and over again, you fool, no thank you I DON'T drink. No room for argument or whining or anything else. A simple statement of fact. No thank you, I don't drink. Its been 15 years now with the snuff and I will never dip again.
