NO MORE

We can live our lives sadly by excuses , or we can live life by action .

Living life , whining about life , circumstances , people , are an addicts enemy and tool .

Using excuse after excuse is draining ; covering them up even more draining .

Not to do something ; not to complete something ; not to think positively ; not to do anything about our situation won't change the situation we are in . Its negative and doesn't feel good .

We have all heard the saying , "You are what you eat " . I believe that's true . We were not ALL meant to be size two or a size six , yet everyone wants to be . We are not ALL a size 12 or 14 , we are not the same height or the same build . Every one of us is unique and different , and that's how special you are . We are healthiest by the food we eat ; how we feed our temple .

You are what you think you are and if you think you can't quit smoking you won't , if you think your no good , you'll keep finding excuses , keep,using excuses and smoking , if you think you can't succeed then you won't succeed .

Don't smoke today : walk today , think positively today , donsomething different today that will,make you proud of you today , just do one thing today you can pat yourself in the back for when you go to sleep . Have faith in you , have faith in your ability , have faith by action !

We must move forward ! We must think differently , act differently , do differently than making an excuse to smoke , or whine about weight , or whine we have no job , no money , no family , no home . We can use this pandemic to our advantage .

About the Author

Smoker of 28 years . COPD recipient . My biggest help to quit was to read other successful quitters testimony . I’ll have a thirteen years quit June 30 , 2024 . Biggest lesson learned : I learned the “Just one” lesson . You can never have just one .It is the the key to everyone’s quit . Having “ none” is the easy way to quit smoking . Quit tools : Made use of my strengths and improved upon my weaknesses . Quit benefits , more time with my family , better quality of life , better self image . How I kept the quit : one day at a time , one step at a time . I told myself like a broken record : “ Don’t smoke ; Do something different “ then literally went and did something different other than smoking “ . Quitting is not complicated , nope is it , however it will be the process of self discovery for you to find that out for yourself . How long will that be ? Up to you . We are all different and we come from different backgrounds and smoked for different reasons so no one can really tell you when it will get easier for you only that it will . Be patient with yourself . Who cares how long it takes anyway because we all came to quit forever . This quit is for life , your life , so embrace it , welcome it , it’s the best thing you will ever do for yourself . The money you save get a bucket list of little rewards and big ones and do them . Change the things you can . Life is worth living . This gets easier , oh my gosh , so much much easier . Give it a season , give it two and you’ll never want to let go of your quit I promise you that . It’s wonderful , absolutely wonderful to be free . Quitting btw was the hardest thing I’ve ever done just like everyone here . I shed buckets of tears for weeks , yelled into a pillow , stuck my head into a cold bucket of water and paced aimlessly in head fog . Was it worth it , every bit of it ! Biggest improvement : , my health , the relationship with my family ( all non smokers thank goodness ) and finances . When I started 2011. I was walking three blocks with the use of inhalers for copd . Latest accomplishment : still on the inhalers no further advancement of copd . June 1 2023. Did my first 10 k . Next goal is my second 10k by the end of 2024 . I’m 68 years years young and I’m an Ex smoker . I was able to take three trips ( out of country ) with my family because I quit smoking . Time I never would have had had I not quit . Money from quitting paid for them . I want to say you are in control , take your power back from cigarettes from vaping or any addiction you might have . Life awaits you , don’t let it pass you by . Make the decision to stop and one day that light will shine upon you and make you a whole new you . Thank you to Quitnet members and Ex members for the support and encouragement to quit and stay quit . That along with my desire never to smoke again has given me a life long successful quit . No turning back , ever .
