Actually Everything is going great., I can't believe How far I have come in such a short time. I am truly enjoying the journey of a lifetime, It's ok to have fun along the way. Yesterday I was a bit uneasy,, Because I am experiencing my first national holiday smoke free. It's ok I'm fine and living well and smoke free. Everything i was going through was due to my addiction to nicotine. My mind was telling me it's ok you can do this. And it was and still is ok. I thought something had to go wrong, Because things are going so right., So I'm going to continue to do what I do best. CHEW GUM SUGARLESS,, Come here for feedback, and continue on my journey. GOOD LUCK TO US ALL..

It's easy to say that. But unless we are spiritually fit we will give into the triggers and the urges to light up. As we all travel a different road on the journey of QUIT, I say a prayer daily , I know that there is a higer power helping me to maintain a smoke free life. For I could not do this alone, So I ask GOD to help keep me smoke free. Praying is a strong tool in any jouirney to the road of recovery. So I know that some of the triggers to lead me back to smoking are PEOPLE PLACES AND THINGS. I don't go out when the rest of my co-workers go on break to smoike. I have no reason to be out there at that perticular time. See people and places, Why put my self in harms way? I want my QUIT to be as painless as possible. I will be damned if I bring the pain and struggles of addiction back into my life because I smelled a cigarette! When I was younger I actually began to smoke because it looked KOOL! Smoking is no longer glamorous It dangerous. If I find myself wanting to smoke, I say a prayer and CHEW GUM SUGARLESS, and drink a nice cool drink of water. Remember H.A.L.T when we are HUNGRY. ANGRY.LONELY.TIRED. this is the time that we are most likely to give into temptations. Stay strong I will pray for you too. GOD BLESS US ALL WITH ANOTHER DAY SMOKE FREE JUST FOR TODAY
kindness and understanding it helps alot of us weaklings to get through! Hugs : )
I went shopping today. Back in april as I was completing my PATCH therapy, It was suggested to me by the EXplan to rerward myself for not smoking., Well today I went and got a ring I had put in layaway on April 3rd. Exactly one month after my Quit date which was March 2nd. It feels real good to be able to reward yourself for an accomplishment which is very difficult . I feel good about my QUIT, and I am proud of what I have acheived. Now I had to work to get this ring , It took 65 days to get this ring, It will take me a lifetime to to complete my journey of QUITTING. My first and my last reward. So If you are reading this treat yourself to something good. Because we all have worked hard to QUIT and maintain our QUIT . I chose to buy a ring than cigarettes. In my lifetime of smoking I smoked a down payment to a home LOL. GOD BLESS US ALL WITH ANOTHER SMOKE FREE DAY!
