No smoking

Hi all. I did for a few weeks fell off that high horse.
I am not back on it again and starting fresh.
I am determine to do it.
I will be staying close to the forum as it was all of you who give me encouragement last time to push through the hard times.
Still going to be smoke free by Xmas and the new year will be a fresh clean non smoking year.
This year has been a rollercoaster ride and I will be glad to see the back of it.
As most of you no I have a bit of a health scare and I got through it with all your help aswell. And yet stupid enough to stick 1 of them dirty things in my mouth and light it.
But I can never really enjoy it anymore knowing the health scare I had and always worrying it could come back.
So the only way to do this is to be smoke free and not to worry about that happening and move forward
Yes it still does stink and never really enjoyed it anyway it was the trap that got me 1 day when I let the guard down to early.
I no what I need to do this time round.
I no my triggers and how to deal with it better. Here's to a new year happy and healthier year.

We know you can do it Gemma. I am glad to know you are still willing to ride on to victory. As much as i feel bad for your slip, I am sure that you feel even worse. You know that you have the power to save your health and spare your loved ones further anxiety. The sooner is definitely better, and I know you will love the new you in the years to come!

Great to hear from you Gemma, I slipped up quite a few times before I really worked it out, that was before this forum and before I had the internet to keep me updated.
We are all here for you and will help you on the way and through those outside influences which tend to make us lower our resistance. Once you strengthen how you react to outside influences you will have the power to resist. NOPE (not one puff ever) Have a happy Christmas

Robn hit the nail on the head. Resisting to smoking is not the same as desiring to live smoke-free. One is hard, One is easy. Again, it is the perspective in the mind.
Acceptance >calmness> contentment > gratefulness >happiness
Be a happy non-smoker
