Inventory

When I retired, I decided to take an inventory of my life to see where I really was and where I wanted to go. Getting healthy was one part and stopping smoking was a part of that. I sat down and wrote down a plan for quitting…nothing elaborate…just a simple outline that grew from there. The plan was as follows: Write down a plan for quitting In a journal and enter my progress everyday, read it back (Daily) and reflect on where I was. This is important to me because I was taught early in life that “A Goal Without A Plan Is A Wish” So I spent a lot of time wishing I could quit smoking until I really got serious

.

Next I decided to use a NRT and I chose the patch, next I would read and learn all I could about this addiction, and finally I was going to join a support group.

 

I don’t profess to have all the answers. I try to keep a “Newbie” mentality where I am always “On Guard” and always learning. I am just saying what worked for me.
