Just thinking

No. I do not have all the answers.  But I am giving this quit 100% not the 50 or 75% before.  The difference is I am more  educated about nicotine addictions. I am older and don't want to be smoking for the rest of my life and feeling miserable and embarrassed that I am still doing it.   I am  Not just trying to quit but reprogramming my brain and the way that I think that I do not have to or want to smoke.  Telling myself No, as often as necessary. Riding the wave of cravings, knowing that they will pass.  Yes, I was worried about gaining weight.  So what I told myself.  I always worry about gaining weight whether I smoke or not.  I do feel a peace that I can make it.  Not an anxiety but a confidence that this process will become easier as time pass and I won;t think about it  as much.  I still have to focus on things to do if a craving should appear but Not scared. I won't fail.

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.
