Wyzz, its the thought of "I'm doing this instead of a cigarette" that kept that from working for me. Thinking about what I was doing made it worse. Its like Allen Sherman said of us all about sex..........
Humans engage in "thinkery-fuckery." So we have lots of problems both physical and mental, or physical brought on by mental, or.........well anyway, we worry about it, we suffer performance anxiety, we worry about what the other person thinks and are they enjoying it or are they thinking you're no good at this, or that they aren't any good or...................that's thinkery-fuckery.
Ever see a dog with that problem? Do you think zebras give a crap about what the partner thinks? Ever watch a deer in rut and wonder if they have performance anxiety? Is there some form of penis envy amongst the sheep population? NOPE......They just fuck. We don't. We seem to have to think about it and in the process have become one of the few species who need therapy to throw a fuck....in either direction.
For me anyway, thinking was detrimental to my quitting. The less I thought the better. Tell ya' what else........Works for sex too!
