This blog is mainly for those who are not actively working their quit but visit or some who may be at the  “just one”  stage and having a tough time getting back on track.  I want to reach out to you and let you know that I haven’t given up on you so don’t give up on yourself.  If you are having a problem let’s talk about it. You may not want to blog but send a personal message to someone if necessary.   We are friends and family here waiting to offer support and encouragement to each other to stay smokefree.

If you have relapsed learn from those mistakes don’t give up don’t give in try again.  Don’t give in to the negative thoughts and EXCUSES.  Yes, you will have withdrawals, urges and craving.  Yes, you will have emotional changes.  Yeah, you may have to deal with insomnia.  Yes, your partner my still smoke.   Okay, so you may gain a little weight.  Isn’t it worth all that not ever taking another puff and not be chained to  nicotine?  

You can do this.  Yes, it sounds easier than what it is.  However, it is not as hard as you THINK,    Your life will change for the better, if you just take the first step.  1) Get a PLAN and WORK it.    Don’t give up do not give in.   I remember one of the elders saying there is a time in our lives that we just have to “grow up” and stop depending on a drug o take us through.   Yes I said it DRUG.  Just like the others just cheaper.   Get mad and throw all the lighters, ashtrays, butts, cigarettes away.  Whatever is in sight that reminds you of smoking get rid of it.  Stop holding on.  If you hold on you should question your quit.    Say no more!  Do whatever is necessary to get started and then take it from there one day at a time.  We are here for you.   I am pleading for you to get back on track and save your life one breath at a time.  Stop the suicide.  Give yourself the gift of life for Christmas.    You know me, NOPE and SINAO smoking is not an option.  315DOF
