444 Days Free

I was on my way to catch the Freedom train.  I had to go to my quit page to see how many days smoke free I had.  Wow 444 and I liked the number so much, I decided to do a shout out to myself.  I went to a page where I keep notes on my quit smoking thought, blogs and SINAO ideas  I would like to share a few notes. 

Headline!   Did you close the door?  Or is it still open for the opportunity (EXcuse) to smoke again.  When you quit smoking you close the door on many different things to protect your quit.

  1.) If you drink and HAVE to have a smoke  you have to slam the door hard and don’t open it  

 2.)  If it is a trigger for to be around smokers, close the door tight.   Mentally if you live with a smoker.

 3.)  When you quit smoking what  did you close the door to and kept it closed?

 

I can tell myself not to be angry, mad or no need to be sad.

There are times that we are have problems and someone will say “oh just shake it off it will be okay”. Somethings you just can’t shake off.  We have to face them and deal with it as a nonsmoker.  We have feelings, emotions.  We have to grieve, love, laugh, cry, hurt, be bored, lonely, and angry and still learn to deal with life just like nonsmokers do. 

 

Most importantly,  life is precious.  Living smoke free is the best life.  Do what makes you happy.  Light the scented candles.  Purchase your own flowers or favorite perfume.  Make yourself smile.  Be good to yourself smoke free.   

 If you are just staring this journey when cravings come, tell yourself that you ARE a NONSMOKER. As James Brown would say "Say it loud and say it proud" and live what happens. .

 

 My name is Jackie with God's help, the support of this community along with educating myself about nicotine addiction I have 444 DOF.  For me SINAO Smoking  is never an option. Have a wonderful day. I have a train to catch.
