Share your quitting journey
Happiness is not easy ALL of the time . It's not just THINK positively it's DO positively too then you can THINK positively .
Sometimes we learn valuable things from things that bring us UNHAPPINESS such as smoking , such as death , such as crisis and circumstances .,
Smoking for example caused us fear to quit not happiness , smoking takes away loved ones far too early and leaves us grieving . Smoking can leave us financially struggling .
Smoking can leave us discluded for endless amounts of time from events , celebrations and family gatherings.
Smoking doesn't fix things , WE need to fix things .
Smoking leaves us with feeling empty but WE can fill the void through healthier alternatives .
Nothing gets better EVER by smoking . It gets better by making a CHANGE in us that won't allow smoking to control our lives anymore .
It's not hard it's nope repetitively , repetitively repetitively
All we have to do is decide and do .
--------------------------------------------------
What was in our goal when we sought a quit site ?
How can we ourselves make change within ourselves to become ex smokers permanently !
How can we change our belief system about smoking if we aren't willing to change , to learn , to accept help and support , study and do ?
Its our responsibility to self first and foremost not to give in , but also a responsibility to others I would hope .
-------------------------------------------------
When it's our time , we WILL leave this earth , and we will leave smokers or not .
Do you want to die a smoker ? That's a question I asked myself .
I doubt any of us want that , although we've all likely said in the past " if I'm going to die I'm going to die a happy smoker ".
Really ? Smoking makes one happy ? Smoking makes one uncomfortable !
Did smoking change why you picked up your first cigarette ?
You don't have to ever go back to day one , not you , not me . We can end the cycle of relapse , of slips and of smoking .
We can choose to be an ex smoker each and every day forward and to be an ex smoker forever however long forever may be .
