Yes ...sad but true. Nicotine is my demon. I am going cold turkey. NO NICOTINE. Tried the Gum, The patch, the inhaler, the Wellbutrin and then I read about Cold turkey...what a novel idea, since on a scale of addictive substances Nicotine is 100 and crack cocaine is 68!!!! We don't tell crack users to chew cocaine gum or put a bandaid on their arm....WHY? Well because WE must go through withdrawl SOMETIME and grin and screa :O) cry and eventually get throug it....people always ask me...Why can't you quit...you quit drinking alcohol at 22 (I'm 42 now) You gave up sugar (all forms) Junkfoods (SNACKIES) only eat 3 meals a day nothing in between, you can run...Lost 43 lbs after a thyroid problem was helped and YOU YOU why can't you stop the darn nicotine?
My answer is now discovered and this is now ME Quitting......not TRYING to quit becasue merely trying gives way to failure.....because if I failed then, I could say yes I was trying...I tried....on top of numerous self deceptive thoughts I would spurt out :O)
I am going to hug myself starting on 26 of Feb and maybe before that date..once I do...I will do it ONE day at a time and BE Kind to me!!!!
Thaks for listening!!!!!!!!!
pS the pic is a joke its me NOT real bruises but how I feel when I keep smoking...quitting..smoking quitting......beatin myself up!!!!
