Quitting smoking

I had just started doing TCC about six months before I had a major thrush infection in my mouth. It hurt so badly I couldn’t even eat, so smoking seemed really silly. The infection in my mouth plus a very good doctor’s suggestion made it a good time to quit.. Tai Chi Chih helped to jump start me as well. I clearly remember that first summer working in the garden and thinking I would stop for a smoke and instead would stop for a couple of TCC moves and a glass of water. The “alternate physical treat” of drinking water and doing Tai Chi Chih managed to successfully take the place of smoking.
