Finding Motivation To Quit

[j3ffmeadowsgm]

My last attempt at quitting I became focused on going to the store and buying tobacco. I am hoping Wellbutrin helps with this craving. I desperately need days with no smoke to heal my lungs. I am in very bad pain. This is the second day of Wellbutrin and I have three more days. I am limiting how much I am smoking now and have dumped the American Spirit rolling tobacco down the toilet. It cost $17 to buy the bag of American Spirit but I don't think about the cost of tobacco only the cost to my health. My health is the biggest motivating factor in my quitting smoking. I am tired of being in constant pain and having my lungs hurt. I take my medication at 9am. When I get to the point where I start thinking about going to the store for tobacco I will look in the mirror and tell myself "this isn't something I do anymore. I really want to do it this time.

You can do this! Deep breaths and when your day ONE arrives keep your mind as well as your hands occupied and at the end of the day you'll be able to say YAY for Day WON as long as you're willing determined and committed to succeed then we will perservere through whatever comes your way and you'll do one precious Smokefree Day at a time or hour minute or even a second at a time.
