[QUOTE="donna723, post: 449361, member: 1883"] I can go for several hours and not even think about smoking if I'm somewhere that I can't smoke and I'm busy and occupied, like in the mall or a movie or some place like that. But I'm more than ready for one as soon as I get somewhere that I can smoke. I worked for the State and when they banned smoking everywhere they gave these stupid classes that were supposed to help people stop smoking ... [U]totally worthless[/U] and the people giving the classes didn't have a clue! They tried to get us to make little lists of things that we thought "triggered" us to smoke, like stressful situations, etc. So much BS! Nothing "triggers" me! I smoke because I have smoked for years and because my body is [U]addicted[/U] to the nicotine! My "trigger" is my body telling me that I haven't smoked in a while. No amount of deep breathing or visualizing myself not smoking is going to take away that feeling that my throat is closing up on me if I go too long without smoking, or that urge to bite chunks out of people who get in my way! One of these days I will be ready to quit, but it will have to be when I decide, or it will never work. And no amount of deep breathing or rule making or list writing will be enough to make me quit until [B][I]I[/I][/B] decide to for my own reasons. Otherwise, it just will not work! [/QUOTE]
