You Aren't Quitting For The Fun Of It! Don't Let Yourself Get Overwhelmed By Overthinking.

[JonesCarpeDiem]

Quitting is a good thing. It's not always gonna be fun.

There will be times when you may get just plain tired of quitting, especially during your first month.

Yes it's work because it's unnatural to try and undo such a pervasive part of your life, something that actually ran our lives.

You never thought of the feelings your little leaguer had when they hit that triple and looked for your face in the stands for recognition but you were out in the parking lot lighting up.

How about the person you were talking with who's conversation was lost because all you could think about was having a smoke.

That was our mindset.

That was our master.

So remember you are doing something spectacular for yourself.

Freedom isn't fun. You may have to take it moment by moment in some days.

Dig in. Dig Deep Never back down.

Great blog post~ I can relate to the many, many conversations lost because I was checking the clock to see how much longer I had to wait to have a smoke.  I think the other night when I slipped, I was overthinking it too much and just dwelling on it.

Hi Dale, Sometimes we are our worse enemy. We need to just live life and stop thinking about it so much. It's always a good thing to wake up in the morning and not have to think about that awful nicotine addiction to feed. These habits that we occured during our smoking days have got to be pushed away and create better healthier habits and thoughts so we can overcome this addiction.

I enjoy your blogs so much. You are one who shoot from the hip. You say things that need to be said whether or not they go down easy with everyone. I see this as very necessary. There is a time for simpathy, but there is also a time for a reality check. Which to me, is a real problem with some of us trying to quit. We dont want to face the reality of what is really happening.

Hi,

I also enjoy your posts. I get them as emails and I read almost everyone of them for the encouragement and the info. I am so grateful that smoking is not my master anymore. I went to an amusement park during the summer and I did not have to find a place to sneak a smoke. Someone we were with had to do that and that was the day I realized how much of a master smoking was. I knew but actually faced the reality then. Thanks for all that you do.
