These are some of the ingredients that I used in order to be at my 86th day of non smoking. (who's counting?) lol

1500 lbs of Committment, (can not get there without it )

1000lbs of  Preserverence, ( do or die attitude)

90 lbs  Longsuffering,

1000 lbs of Willingness,

1 million Prayers,

1000lbs of Sacrifice, Self talk, unlimited belief, resolve, determination, focus, learning to care  about myself, forgiveness,(had to forgive myself for smoking for so long)

most important ingredients: Support, (thanks gang) education, faith, trust, reprogramming, relearning, tears,(moslty because it took so long  

endless Laughs, (I had to laugh at myself and my addiction) 

a whole lot of Confidence.   Some say not to be too confident but I had to do it my way,

Positive thinking. honesty, endurance

Telling my brain no but most of all never giving in to that one not one puff ever. (NOPE)

 How are you creating your smoke free life?

P.S.  I have been telling myself since day one I am a non smoker. Day 83 Lightbulb!  I am.  Made me smile because that was a moment I knew it wasn't just saying it.. No doubts I knew it , I had to smile.  Have a smokefree life I am.

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.
