This is your base number. For this example we will call it 8.<br /><br />Each week, allow yourself one less pipe each day. So for the first week you can only have 7 pipes a day, the second week 6 pipes a day, etc...<br /><br />At first it will be easy. After all you are smoking almost as much as you do now. Later on it will be more difficult as you try to keep it down to only a few a day, but by then your body will have gotten use to it and it will be easier than if you had went cold turkey.<br /><br />You might need to spend more than one week at each level.<br /><br />You might screw up and smoke more than you should one week, no problem, just spend another week at that level and then move on.<br /><br />The key is to just keep going, and to really want it to work.<br /><br />If you really want to reach your goal, you CAN do it.seeksomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04105589819702984541noreply@blogger.com
