Hard to believe, I will be rounding the corner into my 6th year of smoke-free existence! Wow! And at a time when the Holidays are such a warm, joyous time to enjoy, it's the part that reminds me about not having freedom over a chapter in my life.
Just like many of you, smoking was a way of life. There is always a responsibility to "do the right thing" or "do as i say- not as I do". I think I lost that responsibiilty and lost control of my life the moment I lit up. Every once in a while, I get asked about the 'secret' or magic formula. Truth is: there isnt one. There is only "my" formula and "your" formula. Our friends at EX are here to help you tap into that formula and especially for the Holidays- set you free.
If there is any broad guidance I can give- it would be an analogy of driving a car. Yes, like some of you- i totally enjoyed rolling the window down and lighting up. But now, I can liken my Quit plan to being in the driver's seat of my life. You have the rear-view and side-view mirror to always remind you to glance back at where you came from (if just for a few seconds). Your front windshield is the broad, open future ahead of you. The GPS is your quit plan or roadmap for success. And your speedometer is a gauge for how FAST you want to get there. So, step on the gas and get going friends! Don't shave off days for the quick fix.
A todos mis amigos en su idioma: Felices Fiestas y ojala que pasan ustedes una Feliz Navidad y guarden el tiempo para familia, comida y VIDA! Comparten con nosotros su historia de convertir a un "ex".
