Description
I have learned that “you can’t change anything until you change your mind”. I had to totally change my way of thinking about a nasty addiction. I had to learn the knowledge and everything there is to know about the enemy that I was up against (nicotine). I had to know the tricks that will and were to be used against me to entice me to start again. I had to listen and LEARN and build up my own personal tool box (mine is a CHEST) that I carried with me at all times. I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was so ashamed of myself for smoking and hiding all the time. True words: “The FEAR OF QUITTING SMOKING is WAY worse than the actual quit itself.” I had to push past that fear. I also had to be willing to listen and learn from others. I am so very grateful God gave me this gift of willingness.
Don’t give up before the MIRACLE My favorite quote:
"Whether you say you CAN or CAN'T, either way you will be right" Henry Ford
But for the Grace of God go I.
“Every day in every way, I am getting better and better” by Emile Coue, a famous 17th century psychologist. BELIEVE IT!!
When I concentrate on the problem, the problem gets BIGGER. When I concentrate on the SOLUTION, the PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I choose to focus my energy on being a joyful non smoker living life on life's terms just for today.
Progress not Perfection.
Courage is standing back up after being brought to your knees and DEMANDING "One More Round ! "

Brief Description
I have smoked on and off for 35+ years. I had mastered the “art of serial quitting” so on October 21, 2011 I decided that was going to be my very LAST cigarette. Then on Day 83 I had “just one” which became “just two”, and I said WHAT AM I DOING TO MYSELF?? I came “clean” with the group the very next day and reset my clock. I decided then and there that there will NEVER EVER be a Day One for me. The shame and the beating myself up were almost more than I could bare. I am married to an amazing man, and I have been blessed with 3 sons, 1 daughter, and 2 beautiful granddaughters. MY QUIT DATE IS JAN. 12TH 2012.
