As I mentioned a little while ago, the wife and I are on a smoking reduction plan. So far, we are more or less on track, having reduced our habit to one every hour and a half, a huge improvement. Our end goal is to be completely quit by the end of summer, which is reasonable.
One of the keys is to do this in a guilt free way, which is to say that if we have an off day (like yesterday) where our smoking goes up, we don’t beat ourselves up about it. If we were to do thta, the stress would simply go up, we would feel like we had failed efore we had even started, and that would be that. Instead, the secret is to acknowledge that it took us many years to ge tto where we are now, so a few months is reasonable to expect.
Three or four weeks at this schedule, then we will probably push it over again to an hour and 45 minutes, or maybe even two hours between smokes. Day by day, that’s the way. The quest continues.

How’s the reduction going? I used Commit lozenges that I got from a friend…
They worked wonders… I also brushed my teeth and tongue like mad and bought tons of sugar free cough drops and candies…
It worked!
I gained weight though! That’s something you can always work on… I wish you and your wife the best of continued success…
