Share your quitting journey
But thank God for traveling mercy I am okay and I did not have the need to smoke. I have not written a blog lately but recently tried but somehow I did not save it soon enough. You all know how that goes sometimes. One day I will get those thoughts back. It was about "you can make it" There have been days my head could not relay a message of help to those who are challenged with quitting smoking. Right now I am popping in and out. It seems I just haven't had very much to say.and that I had said it all but that is not true. So much had been going on in my brain which was rather tired. I miss my dad and sister. I find myself still reaching out to them but they are no longer there. It is kind of weird to explain. I am not complaining because through it all God had been good. Therefore I take a deep breath and do my best to deal with life on life terms as YoungAtHeart says and keep it moving.
I just want to make a quick observation.
I did not have the need to smoke
That is a big statement right there. Yes! After smoking for over 40 years and telling myself that I needed a cigarette every day not smoking is a major accomplishment. It took time for me to change my thought process to KNOW and BELIEVE that I did not NEED to smoke. If you want to get through the challenge of quitting smoking, start telling yourself that you do not need to have a cigarette. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/groups/newbie-quitters/blog/2019/01/27/one-of-the-greatest-tools-...
It can happen for you just like it happened for me. NOPE no matter what will keep you free.
My mantra:
Not in my hands, not on my lips, not in my lungs, not on my tongue, not up in my nose, not in my clothes, not in my throat, I will not choke because I will not smoke.
Love you guys, missing you. Thank you all for your love and support. Maybe when this is over we can do a mini-reunion. Zoom seems to be the going rage with live streaming and all. For the techno-savvy folk Anyway. Take care of yourself. Keep it going and be real with yourself and know that you can make it with the desire, determination, discipline, and direction., ( The D's another topic, soon to come). Just popping in to say NOPE will keep me free.
