Choice is our freedom. We choose everyday for so many things, How do you want your coffee, what are you going to wear, what's to eat ? Little did I realize that for 40 some odd smoking years, I choose slavery. You couldn't have told me...it was my choice and I didn't even consider slavery or addiction. Smoking was just who I was. I didn't care what y'all said or thought about me. Looking back now, I was a perfect Slave. An excellent addict. You could show me all the scary movies...tell me all the truth about Big Tobacco, I didn't give a hoot. I had enough money to buy another pack of smokes at the corner store and I made sure I was Never without. Ever. I probably still have a carton up in my attic with a fire ax, in case of another Katrina. No, that's not true. I was just up in my attic today, checking on things. There are medical emergency supplies and a fire ax. There are NO cigarettes. You know why ? I threw them out when I had no further use for them, when I stopped being a Slave. Choice... choose well. You have a beautiful Life to consider.

Over thinking anything is never good. Why not give it a decent try ? Educate yourself and just give it a shot. You already know what being a slave is like.... see if you like being free. I'll tell you something else you already know, being Free beats anything.

I try to put positive thoughts in my mind before night sleep as well as the morning reverie. I do this nearly every day and have done for many years, Putting myself on the Good Foot. In reading this today, I never realized when I smoked that lighting up first thing was not only likely killing me, it was re-enforcing the addiction in so many ways and circumventing good intentions for myself.

Many successful quitters here on QTrain have quit on a whim and just like them, I quit on a whim too. This is what led me to making one of the most important decisions in my life on a whim... It was after a trip to California, where finding a place to smoke was problematic and I was among non smoking friends. For the first time, I started seeing addiction for the slavery that it is and I acknowledged my bondage. When slipping outside for another smoke, I glibly announced, "I'm going out now, to shoot up." On the aeroplane back home, a colossal coughing fit overwhelmed me. I had to stand in the back while attendants tapped my back and brought me water. That was weird, I thought. That was awful. What was that about ? After landing, I didn't rush outside for a smoke before climbing into a jitney. Something had changed. Instead, I thought, why don't you try and quit....you already have 6 or 7 hours clean ? Why not ? Let's quit smoking for a while and see how that feels. I spent the next 72 hours sleeping a lot, drinking whisky and reading all about quitting smoking, all about nicotine addiction. After those days, as nicotine left my body, quitting became a wager with myself, a bargain. 'If you don't feel better in five minutes... maybe you'll feel better tomorrow... if you are not feeling pretty good by next week... or, in a month...see what happens after a year.' You can always go back to smoking. You know what that feels like. The thing was....I was feeling Free. While I was beating a trigger or a crave....I was learning how to be Free. It was intoxicating ! It was empowering ! That was where the whim became a serious enterprise. I realized, I would conquer any obstacle to my freedom from nicotine, it was just a matter of time and choice. Maybe you will quit on a whim. You don't need much. Cool clear Water, the fresh Air you breathe, some Kindness towards yourself, and a Willingness To Be free. and from our friend, Joel Spitzer, here are resources regarding Setting Quit Dates
