I'm sitting here a little bored so I thought I would read through a few of the first blogs that I wrote. Wow! That was me? I think I started out in the right mind set. Maybe that's what made this quit last. I went in knowing this "was the one" and that I was going to do everything in my power to quit and stay that way! I wasn't going to make excuses. I've lost loved ones (first loss was about a month into my quit, and the other this past week) and just about every other emotion we all go through, and used none of them as a reason or excuse to light up. You don't have to. If you're having a crappy day and decide to light up because of that, quess what? Once that cigarette is out, your day will still be crappy....and maybe even more so because you lost your quit. Just KNOW you can do it, and believe in yourself. If you start thinking about smoking, re-direct your thoughts...get up and move...do whatever it is you have to to get your mind off it. It's not always easy...but oh so worth it!
506 days smoke free and looking forward to a smoke free tomorrow and hope you are too!
