I guess I could whine and complain about Valentine's Day,but I chose not too.  I am alive,,,another day on this planet.  Breathing, living, more than others that have already gone before me.  Yes, we are all quitting, but it is not the end of the world. I don't think anyone has died due to withdrawal.   It is the beginning. Smoke free, no constant head swirling, coughing,  hiding, denying, lieing, craving, slaving, and anything else you want to add to this crazy addictive list.  Yes crazy,lets be real. Come out of the illusion that it is the end of the world.  Renew your mind. WE havent lost anything at all.  In fact we have gained another day on this planet.  Be thankful.  Stop mentally dragging yourselves down because you are not smoking. We have been dealing with a deadly poison.  Lift yourselves up because  you are not.  It is in our hands now.  No turning back. We have been here before and we have learned from our mistakes. Please don't think I don't understand at times it can be hard  and everybody's quit is not the same but together we can do this, yes we can. Smoke free for Life.

Peace

Lay aside every weight that may be slowing you down. Make up your mind not to allow doubt cause you to stumble. You can do this! Do not allow fear , False Expectations Appearing Real to hold you down. You can do this! Break the chains of addiction, forgive yourself for ever smoking. move forward and start loving yourself more each day by staying smokefree. Put aside worry, anxiety, depression, any EXcuse that you would use to not get in or stay in the race of freedom. Take one day at a time, one step if necessary. Run the race diligently, steady and sure with endurance. Believe that you can. Keep your eye on the prize. Hang tough, stay close, be mindful, never give in, never give up.
