Share your quitting journey
We’ve seen a lot of relapses lately, which I suppose are to be expected with so many New Year’s quitters in No Man’s Land now. All of them have sad stories of tragedy, or bad health, or anger or something negative associated with them. It makes me feel so sorry for that person, and frankly a bit guilty. My life has been going great for several months now. In fact, I can’t remember a happier time. And yet, for some odd reason, I’ve been craving cigarettes pretty badly the last 2 days. I can’t think of any triggers I’ve had. Maybe the change of season, although that has never bothered me before. This is my slowest time of year for my business. And my wife and I just became empty-nesters (YAY!). So I do have a lot more free time than usual. Maybe that’s it.
Anyway, another reminder for me to never get too over-confident. And that craves don’t always come for bad reasons, or when you expect them. I’ve come to realize they come for any reason our addicted brains can imagine. And if that reason doesn’t work, our addiction will try just the opposite reason.
I haven’t visited the Daily Pledge for months. Think I’ll go now and grab someone’s hand. Anyone want to take mine?
