Reality Check

Today I realized how powerful the drug nicotine had been in control of my brain. Now 82 days smoke free and worth every second of this journey to freedom and still learning.  I stayed busy all day rearranging, organizing and improving my living space.  How many times can i rearrange my furniture?  OCD!!!!  Obsessive Complusive Disorder  lmho Oh well at least it is getting better each time.  I am very tired right now.  

To all: have a good night. 

For those that did not make it through today smoke free, my prayers go up for you to not give up, reevaluate the reasons why. 
Today I kept seeing the image of my grandson when I told him I had quit. I never want to hide smoking again. I promised myself when he was born I would quit.  He is sixteen years old now.  I am keeping this promise to me and to him.   Quitting is easy, staying quit sometimes takes work.  Today was one of those times. I do mean work.  Thank God I made it through another day smokefree .  One day at a time sweet Jesus. Thank you.  I am a non smoker.   Amen Goodnight. 10:20pm EST

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.
