You can't stop the waves but you can learn to surf!

So, yep... cravings stink out loud. They are still somewhat fast and furious for me, but I know they'll diminish with time and things will get better!  

I've been reading a lot about cravings and nic addiction which has helped me face my cravings head on. Turning away and running from these cravings just fuel the fear inside me... but acknowledging them and riding them out reinforces that I can (and will) do this. 

Meditation expert and medical doctor, Jon Kabat-Zinn said that "you can't stop the waves but you can learn to surf" and I think his words really lend themselves well to the quit smoking journey. I'm learning to surf these craving waves and I am ever-grateful for your support in my learning. 

Surf's up, friends!  29 days and counting.
