Upon Waking Up

I can remember reaching for my cigarettes, even before my eyes were opened

I don't think I have ever met a smoker who didn't smoke shortly after they woke up. It's just another "association", like what I talk about in my book, "Quit Smoking While Still Smoking." We associate the cigarette with whatever we're doing at the time. This could be; talking on the phone, drinking coffee, driving, etc. Wow, what an addiction cigarettes are. Even during the times that I really enjoyed smoking, my "private little party" was always crashed by that little voice deep inside that would always say; "What are you doing? Those things are gonna kill ya." So, I would quickly try to think about something else. When a person is not ready to quit smoking, even they themselves can not talk themselves into quitting smoking. That's a very sad place to be because if you're not ready to quit soon enough on your own, circumstances will come along that will take your smoking habit away for you.

The next time you light up a cigarette pay attention to what you're doing at the time and you'll see what I mean. And try to imagine what it would be like if you found several associations that you could break, or even just a few. You would realize that you were on the right path to quitting smoking.
