While you enjoy the daffodils, crocus and hyacinths we in Colorado are putting our snow shovels to work!
But no matter how you spend your Spring it can be tricky if you're in your first 2 Years of quitting! Seasonal triggers take time to relearn so even 6%ers must remain vigilant and look for every opportunity to grow!
As a Smoker I would have looked out the window, felt a little tightening around my chest and decided that "I need a cigarette!" About 4 Sickerettes later I'd gear up and head out to clean the foot of snow off my car and sidewalks!
Then I'd run in and decide, "I need to reward my hard work with a cigarette!" And 4 Sickerettes later I'd go out for round two!
That's double what I was used to smoking for a whole day! But how else is one to deal with stress?
Amazingly well, actually! Now my motivation is a hot cup of coffee, my reward is a hot cup of cocoa and my lungs Thank Me! I don't need to cope with stress because I no longer find events, (snow storms, for example) stressful! They can really be rather fun and festive!
Here's a Video I found about Springtime Triggers:

However you spend your Beautiful Spring Day today -
May it be Smoke FREE and full of God's Abundant Gift of LIFE!
