Or, you can get locked up. I don’t think you can smoke in county lockup.

 

Kidding, not recommended.

I “borrowed” this from a friend:

 

“It really helped me to change the story I told myself about smoking. I'm an adult, I CAN smoke. I CAN go pick up a pack and start smoking again anytime I like. I'm not some child that's been given a list of rules and grounded from my toys.

 

The truth is I CHOOSE not to smoke today. I DON'T WANT TO SMOKE.”

Exactly!!

Human nature, tell someone they CANT and it presents a challenge.

I can, I just don’t want to.

I have said this so many times. My partner quit drinking 18 mos. ago. She tells me all of the time, " I can drink today." And I answer," but will you?"

Smoking is the same. Of course you can. But then, why are you here? Choosing not to is key. Otherwise you are just abstaining.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
