Been on this site almost a year. Kinda strange when I ask God, to help me quit he sends me angels...Over and Over.
He seems to give me" illnesses to help me quit. Which I wish I would learn. But, I am not.
I panic, I grieve , I sob, I shake.
He has closed many doors, for me to help me be a non-smoker.
Im a sick again" with a gentle warning, I pray. This time!
This time with Bronchitis. My loving God has done so much to help me!! IDK how to stop this madness!
I have so many tools. It has become an empty obsession!
Been smoking since child birth it seems. I fear I may never be able to change the gazillion receptors in my brain of the chemical changes in my" brain.
To be happy and not grieve, and fall to the floor with panic attacks not knowing why.
Has anyone smokes a pack a day for almost 1/2 century, and feel and concur these horrible chemicals in freaking cigarettes!
I tremble as I write this. I stop for a few hours and hit crisis. I have meds, patches, music, water, candy, exercise equip, etc...
Can my brain really achieve relearning thought processes?
I think I need a new brain The more I seem to quit and fail the worse it gets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This blog sort of reads as if you are giving the addiction more credit than it deserves....Yes, it is a formidable foe, in that it just never seems to totally go away and stay away. It does however....lose "alot" of it's power each time that WE say no to an urge...every time you turn down that nagging urge to light up....you strengthen your internal resolve and confidence level to do it successfully again (as in the very next time you get an urge). Whereas....on the other hand....if you (or I) give in to the urge and try to sneak in just a puff or two, or a full smoke, or maybe a pack....well....the next urge that comes, and you can bet it will be coming at an alarmingly much more frequent interval than you have been experiencing....That urge will serve up the vivid recall that you smoked last time, and it didn't kill you....go ahead and do it again....what the heck...nobody needs to know anyway.....
And there you have it....THAT IS EXACTLY why we simply DO NOT DO THAT ANYMORE!!!
I apologize for the caps, but it seems that this is one of those times, that the message that is being conveyed here.....it needs to be heard loudly and clearly, and as often as needed.
Not One Puff Ever....NOPE
