WATCH THE SUCCESS HAPPEN

I just sat here and was in the middle of writing someone a note on their page and I watched their quit counter turn to the next day.  Like an odometer on a car when it reaches the next thousand miles.  (We've all watched that, yes?)   And it was someone (probably long gone to bed) but who had hung on through great duress this day.  And I watched that counter turn to day 64 and thought WOW!!!!  Just WOW!  That's success ticking by.  Second by second, minute by glorioius minute, day by day.  And it occurred to me - if you're having a bad day, watch your clock.  Watch those struggle-beautiful-seconds and hang on until you see that day counter turn over.  It's BEAUTIFUL you guys.  It's really, REALLY beautiful.  Try it for yourselves.  Who knows.  It might just save yiour quit.

Member since MAY 2008. I quit smoking March 1, 2006. I smoked a pack and a half a day for about 35 years. What did it take to get me smoke free? Perseverance, a promise not to smoke, and a willingness to be uncomfortable for as long as it took to get me to where I am today. I am an Ex but I have not forgotten the initial difficult journey of this rite of passage. That's one of the things that's keeping me proudly smoke free. I don't want to ever have another Day 1 again. You too can achieve your goal of being finally free forever. Change your mind, change your habits, alter your focus, release the myths you hold about smoking. And above all - keep your sense of hewmer. DAY WON - NEVER ANOTHER DAY ONE. If you still want one - you're still vulnerable. Protect your quit!
