Another smoke free day! First thing I did this morning was grab a cup of coffee and head outside to enjoy the sunshine, Yes in WA state it does make an appearance from time to time. Anyways I sat there for a few moments romancing the idea of a smoke. I said to myself, "just ACCEPT the fact that you can't and won't smoke anymore. Acceptance is and always has been a part of quitting, but as I have struggled in the past, I am not sure I had truly accepted in the manner that I should, thus creating my many relapses. Those few moments outside with my thoughts, acceptance came like a knock on the head. I guess you could say I sure enjoyed my first cup of coffee this morning. So onto another smoke free day with a whole different emotional out look!

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. I am a 62 year old suffering with moderate COPD. I have relapsed several times from my quit, but I will keep trying till I get it right! "Your mind controls your quit but you control your mind. Don't let your emotions spoil your quit!" Don't allow a stumble to be the end of the journey. The difference between a good day and a bad day is attitude!
