a little cocky today

It may even be close to evening for some of you, but it's still late morning/early afternoon for me. No matter what time zone you are in this little blessing is for you.

                                                                                                          Yesterday, @Blog Post created by Happier2 on Apr 14, 2017, posted a graphic that repeated over and over, simple phrases like. "yes I can, today, not tomorrow, today not yesterday, I can do this and on and on. I took that graphic and made it the background on my computer desktop. Now I look at it all the time and get to have it in mind all the time. It's a great tool for my kit and I'm so thankful that @Happier2 posted it.  I'm feeling a little cocky today, like why not just one, you've done so well and then I started to repeat the phrases in that graphic  over and over while sucking on my binky. I'm doing ok. Almost to double digits and I so look forward to that day. I have learned thus far how commitment and determination are very much key in a quit. I have struggled with both but have held my ground. I'm all set in my second week with plenty to do to keep my quit. I'll either be busy or I will be right here at EX. I don't let anything else get in the way. Have a great  smoke free day, I know I will.

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!
