Recognising Change

Posted in Getting started
schedule 9 Feb 2020

Entering day 6, got to thinking about how i was feeling the day before i stopped smoking to how i feeling now after 5 days of freedom. i remember the lethargy, no motivation except to light up then the coughing and phlegm while i was "enjoying the first 1 of the day" What a joke, my old pal Nic Tine allowed me to lie to myself again and again. No prizes guessing who is not my old pal anymore. In five days the changes already are delightful, still a bit of cough ( normal ), I dont stink like an ash tray and I have motivation again. I understand that life will throw me some crap in the days, weeks, months, years, to come, but for the first time in my 65 years I choose to be positive to meet the challenges and life without the evil i clung onto

I'm with you on that Nic Tine always had the first and last say in every day.

Nic tine clung onto us and we accepted Nics cries of command and control.

Well NoMore. The truth is,,,, He was an illusion.

Thank Lando for prompting me into setting a Quit date.

I'm into day 3 and the fear of the Quit was worse than the Quit Itself.

Congrats to all of us.

Ah ha

I was a non-smoker when i joined 2 years ago. I was not changing my name after any relapse.

Does LANDO have any meaning? Do you live on some land

not really, just something I came up with on the spur of the moment.

I could make something up just to sound interesting.

Maybe it's actually "L and O":

Live and Organic

Loud and Opinionated
