That Whooshing!
sound...

That WHOOOSHING sound is the sad sound of a fellow quitter flushing his
or her quit down the toilet with malice aforethought. What a shame.
Maybe they thought they were different. Maybe they thought they were
unique. Maybe they thought they had stresses or problems that nobody
else has. Maybe they thought they would just start again tomorrow.
Maybe they thought that they could have the infamous "just one" and get
away with it. Maybe they thought nobody would know. Maybe they thought
that they wouldn't have to reset their meter. Maybe they thought they
should congratulate themselves for being good for ___ whole days. Maybe
they thought they would just smoke today while they were sad or angry.
Maybe they thought they would punish their spouse by smoking. Maybe
they thought they were too old, or too young, for it to really matter.
Maybe they thought they could drink alcohol in excess without lowering
their guard against one of the world's most powerful drugs. Maybe they
thought that just 10 sickarettes today were better than the 20, 40, or
60 they usually smoke. I have had all of these thoughts at one time or
the other, and blown lots of good quits before I had the Quitnet.
Newbies....please do not use these instances as an excuse to smoke...
Excuse me for saying this...but my commitment here is to tell the truth
even when it hurts. So here it is:
This is a support site. Support is a two way street. The rule here is
to post and wait for three responses before smoking. If you choose to
go ignore that deal, go locate sickarettes, open the pack, get one out,
put it to your lips, light it, puff it in, exhale it out, and then tell
us about it after the fact...neither I, nor anyone else here can help
you.
Like many others here, I am here to help you BEFORE you make the
conscious decision and bad choice to take that first puff of nicotine.
That the Quitnet works has been proven without any doubt....but it only
works if you follow the directions precisely as stated on the label.
That label clearly says "Post and take three answers BEFORE
administering nicotine in any form."
