New Quit Date

So I’ve got a new smoking quit date: 4/27/2006
I enrolled in a quit smoking program that my work is sponsoring. It’s done through the American Cancer Society. My work will pay for 8 weeks of nicotine patches, and I’ll have 5 phone counseling sessions with an ACS counselor. I had my first session today, and it went well.
I almost didn’t answer the phone when the counselor called. I actually had a previous initial session set up, but had already failed at the last attempt, so I blew it off.
Forget that. I cannot, must not, quit quitting. I’m going to follow their program, use the patches and counseling sessions, and do my homework for my next session.
I’m supposed to:
1.) Make a list of reasons why I want to quit, and post it somewhere that I’ll see it every day.
2.) Switch my brand to one that I don’t like as much.
3.) Start tapering off, and try to get down to about 10 smokes a day before my quit day.
I can do this. I will do this.
As a matter of fact, I’m going to do some of that homework right now.

It looks like this stop smoking program is following spritual principles. They may not know this, but principles always work, even when you don’t know you are using them.
When your mind accepts that you don’t like or want to smoke.
You have solved the problem.
