As a commissioned sales person one of the first things I learned was not to get to high when it was good, and not to get to low when it was bad. Sales work like that. It is chicken one day and feathers the next! There is a parallel, between that and "starting" a new smoke free life. I have been here for a quite while now, and I have watched a lot of people come and go. And some come and go again! The people who seem to be the most successful are the one who stay on a pretty even keel throughout the process.
Do not get me wrong! I believe that you celebrate every accomplishment and milestone along the way. We must pat ourselves on the back, and pass that same pat on to others. But we must also realize that everyday is just one day. We will have many good days as we continue our smoke free lives! We must also realize that we are going to have bad days. Bad things will happen to every one of us! That is called life!
My point is simple! Enjoy and celebrate every good day that life brings your way. Also, be prepared for the bad days. They will come! So, do not get so high on the good days that it is a devistating crash on the bad ones! They are all just one day! Make all the headway you can on good days. But, keep pushing through the bad ones. You may not get as far on a bad day, but you are still going in the right direction. Live everyday! Find peace within your self! Take the bad with the good and keep your focus on the latter! I wish you all a very good day! Tommy
