Not should or need but want..
Day 37. I have realised something today. I stopped smoking not because I should or I needed to but because I wanted to. That's been the difference for me. Life is full of what people need from me or want from me, whether it be kids, work, family, friends etc and smoking was my thing for me. My rebellion. I loved it then I hated it and I WANTED to stop. I didn't do it for anyone except me and that's the difference this time. I saw myself as a non smoker 37 days ago after the last ciggie I had. It's all about being ready in the mind. Good luck to everyone..
You are so right ....I am finding it's about your thoughts . Positive thoughts bring positive emotion and negative thoughts bring that dreaded negative emotion. It's not always easy to stay positive when your trying to quit and I find sometimes I just need a good scolding lol. Letting go and staying positive :-)
Hi Cranky76, I completely agree also. I am on day 95, and have a few good attempts, but this one feels different. I have finally realised I am not missing out on anything, that was the hardest for me, thinking they're having one, why can't I. Such childish behaviour really lol. With each day I believe it's getting easier and easier. I had been smoking for about 25 years and didn't really feel all that healthy any more. That is what I think about if I feel the urge. I just can't anymore, that's it, no more for me. I am slowly filling my life with other things now. Finding a hobby, helping people, clothes shopping. etc. All positive that's for sure. I wish you all the best. Stay strong! :)
Hi cranky sooo nice to see your post, and see that you are going so well. I'm really pleased for you. Well done
