After Quitting



Most of us developed a love/hate relationship with smoking over the years.  We thought we loved certain aspects of smoking, and at the same time, hated them. That's the focus of this week's newsletter.

Write out your own list of smoking pros and cons, and if you'd like to have it added to our permanent library here at About.com Smoking Cessation, send it to me at quitsmoking@aboutguide.com .

Have a great week, everyone.

 


My Love / Hate Relationship with Smoking - Rose's Story
A list of smoking pros and cons is a great way to highlight faulty thinking, as you'll see when you read this list from Rose, a member of our support forum here at About.com Smoking Cessation.

Zoe's List of Smoking Pros and Cons
In her list of pros and cons, Zoe stands back and takes a critical look at her old smoking habit. A powerful exercise in stepping out from behind the smoke screen that nicotine addiction forces us to live behind, a pros and cons list allows us to uncover the truth about our relationship with smoking.

7 Pros...50 Cons - Jeff's Story
From Jeff: "Statistics tell us that approximately 70 percent of those who smoke fervently wish they didn't. It's a miserable state to be in...hating the habit of smoking and feeling powerless to quit. I know. I was one of that 70 percent for many years."

Trying to Stay Strong - Forum Discussion
From Cindy:  "I'm on week 2 and it has been the longest 2 weeks of my entire life!!!!!! Why doesn't the time go by faster? I'm trying to stay busy, keeping my mind off the filthy things, I don't plan on caving in but I really don't understand how my sister did it cold turkey for 5 years now and how everybody else on this forum has done it."
