Just do it!

We hear that so often when it comes to accomplishing a goal.  Just do it!  Sounds good.  Just do it may not work for everyone.   In my opinion just doing it, is based more on willpower than willingness.  If you are going to do anything successfully it is better that start with a plan, guideline, or set of instructions.  The why when and how are easy to refer to if they are written.  When you register on the EX site there are guideline and videos to follow.   If you skip the steps you may have missed a very important step to a forever quit. 

We also hear don’t give up, don’t quit, one day at a time but more importantly is how. The how?  Well, one of the most important ways is through education. If you are willing to educate yourself about nicotine addiction and learn the truth about smoking you can have a forever quit.  Are you willing to relearn your thinking?   Willing to allow your brain to be washed of the brain washing?   Willing to come to the site to not just lurk but blog, participate and ask for help when you are having difficulty with whatever?  Willing to recognize that you may not be able to do this alone.   Willing to do whatever is necessary for a forever quit and that includes educating yourself.   If you have the knowledge you have the power to overcome nicotine addiction.  My plea to you is to educate yourself whether you are on day 1 or 101.  In this information age we are able to research and share.  Here are two links that were very helpful to me at the beginning of my quit journey.  I highly suggest that you read them if you haven’t.   Have a great weekend. The quit you save may be your own.  439 DOF

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.
