Don't ever give up

Hello everyone. Well myself and my family have had a trying couple of weeks with my wife having a breast cancer scare. Thank God after all the tests and scans it came out that she was clear and healthy. Then it was my turn with 3 migraine attacks in 2 days due to the stress and worry for my wife. I am still groggy from the pain meds but i am on the mend. 

In this little challenging week there lies a little gem of a saying that I enjoy using of "Don't give up" I use this when I'm feeling down or going through a tough time don't ever give up! Apply this to your quit as per my last blog we often use a cigarette as an excuse to feel better. I could have let this situation with my wife really get to me and have a puff but nope i'm not that weak anymore I have been through this past year without needing them so why the heck now. 

i love reading your blogs and get encouragement from them not only in not smoking but also through life in general. Seeing that each one of us has a unique quit but also at the same time very similar things we experience while beating this demon nicotine. 

Have a splendid weekend be strong in your quit don't give up it will get better and easier just keep pushing on. 

God Bless

i am a musician and biker at heart. I have a gorgeous little daughter who I treasure with all my heart, she is one of the main reasons for me stopping smoking. i want to walk her down the isle one day. My wife is a smoker which is a challenge but she supports my quit. I had a really big scare on the 2nd Jan 2017 where I stopped breathing everytime I fell asleep and had bad chest pains throughout the night, this was the time to say enough. I am getting healthy again and i am back at gym and enjoying the benefits daily of stopping smoking. Onwards and upwards.
