Daily Pledge, Bonfires and Quit Celebrations: Traditions born from the members
Welcome - to the first, or hundred and first, or one thousand and first day of your quit!
Hey there, as September rolls in, bringing cooler breezes and cozy vibes, it's a fantastic moment to take stock of the things we love about this month. From the changing colors of leaves to the excitement of new beginnings, September has its own charm. And in the midst of all this, let's commit together to breaking free from long-standing habits.
That might mean things like smoking, vaping, or using different kinds of tobacco. And don't forget, even treatments that help us quit, like gum or patches with nicotine, can become habits if we use them too much or not how they're meant to be used.
Right from the start, things might feel a bit odd, like trying something new. Sometimes, we might need to ask for help more often, make a pledge to do better, and gather courage from folks who are going through similar things. It's important to keep an eye on ourselves and stick to our goal. As time goes on, it tends to get a tad easier, which is a pretty good feeling. But remember, we should still check in – maybe daily, weekly, or when we suddenly crave a smoke again. This helps us stay strong in our aim to quit smoking. Plus, we can also swing by to help others who are on the same journey.
You're welcome to drop in anytime you want. Accept the support from someone who's been where you are – they might even be on their first day, just like you. Exciting, right? Whenever you reach out to help someone else who's quitting, it's like shouting, "Yep, I've got this! And you can do it too!"
Keep in mind, we're all in this together. There's a bunch of strength and something truly special in making this promise as a team. Have a great September!
How to pledge
As you go through your day you know that you have these two people with you and all of you are keeping each other strong.
If these Daily Promises help you - use them. If they don't - create your own.
