Don't worry about what seems silly or unimportant in this journey. Cessation is an individual process accomplished by individuals with support from a community such as this. Sometimes I think the most humorous things are the ones I learn about myself. And I will tell you no lie here, you will learn many things about yourself as you move forward.

We are all addicted. And that may perhaps be the most stunning thing we come to realize as we seek cessation. Just take a look at the way that nicotine operates in the system and you will quickly come to understand why we are addicted. But in the same moment we have to understand that we allowed ourselves to become addicted. And now in some way we must allow our selves to reach a point of living at which addiction no longer plagues us.

There is a whole lot of doing in this trek. Cessation is not a passive activity. And if using the smell of cigs as a way of reminding yourself which path you wish to follow, I say good on you, you have taken a very large step forward...

steelroots, a friend of mine wanted to quit, she ended up cleaning out her ashtray into a jar and filling it with water, along with the cigarette butts. When she wanted a cig she took the lid of the jar and took a wiff.

What I am trying to say is that neither your way or hers was silly. It did what it had to do and it got the job done.

Whatever works

Steelroots,

I think that is a great idea....nothing like a bit of aversion therapy.

Hey, look at you go....you are doing so great!

hey steelroots:

Not crazy at all...In fact I have always been amazed at the power of the olfactory sense...It has a lot to do with memory and such...Perhaps it will help as a memory aversion in the tough times...

Keep up the work, this thing is possible even when it seems impossible...

This is probably crazy for most of you, but I decided to post this anyway, because it may help some of the other new- comers. I intentionally saved the butts of the last pack I smoked leading up to my quit day. When I have my craves or think too much about smoking, I go outside and take the lid off the container and sniff- The 1st week or two it didn't smell too bad but tomorrow is day 40 and it's beginning to smell really bad. It reminds me how my hair and clothes may have smelled to others.
