Very Hard Journey
Quit Experience - Month Five. I am Fifty Two Years old and have been a two pack a day smoker since i was 15 Years Old. I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in September 2019. I immediately quit smoking. I was so scared that I was going to die that smoking was not always on my mind. However after months I still wanted to smoke and always fixated on smoking. I can say the desire to smoke has lessened over time and going into month six I do feel like I can do this. I knew no other life other than tobacco. it is hard to understand the new normal but i continue to just not smoke. for those who think they cannot quit smoking, you really can. I wish everyone luck and longevity on their quest to be tobacco free.
learn to want to quit.believe that you are missing nothing but gaining health happiness and freedom. look at the change aas an opportuniyy and be thaankful and joyous. read allen carr by clicking on my name to page 4 i think
Right on Andrew. Initially It’s hard to adjust to new normal of not smoking. Smokers simply can’t understand what it’s like. At the beginning of my quit I didn’t know what to do with the extra time that’s not spent on smoking. The good thing is that as more time goes and you get used to doing other things instead of smoking and as cravings feminism you simply realize what a waste smoking was. Always remember NOPE mantra - not one puff ever. Many quitters went back to smoking with just one puff. Congrats on your accomplishment. Cheers.
Hi Andrew
I too was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in 2010, i gave up smoking in 2015..
Yes we all can give up smoking, but its about willingness to let go of something that was
just there within our grasp...and truely believing in yourself that you can do it.
Enjoy your journey..
