Changing

Yes some of us do still have thoughts of smoking. Maybe not as frequent as in the beginning of the quit.  We wonder when they will go away.  The elders say "in time" you will think of smoking less.  I have seen post from those who have had several years quit and they acknowledge thinking of smoking. Today I have decided to make a change about my thoughts of smoking.  When I start thinking about smoking I am going to remind myself how I felt when I was smoking. I will reflect on it. So thoughts you can come if you want to but I am changing them back to ...........................

1) I hated it.

2) I could not stand the smell

3) Was tired of spending my money

4) Ashamed and embarassed that I smoked/low self esteem

5) Teeth and gums damaged

6) Fear of disease and illnesses The Big C

7) It wasted a lot of my time

😎 I felt stupid sucking in smoke and blowing it out.

9) Damaged clothes

10) I said if I ever get to another quit it would be the last one.

This is it! I will never put another one in my mouth!

I pledge this day and forward to change my thoughts.  Bottom line even  If I think it I will not act on it.

I am Done.  When I say I am done I am Done.
