Day 15
Today I am beginning week 3 and I'm determined to stay smoke free this time! I had no other choice than to quit cold turkey after 30+ years of being an every day smoker. Ive tried everything in the past but this time I'm determined! I still struggle with cravings throughout the day but reading everyones encouraging stories is a big help! In past quits I always had the thought "I can never have another cigarette" and it just made me want one even more. This time I tell myself, yes I can have a cigarette but do I want the other 10, 20, 30 or more that comes with that one. The answer is NO, I do not
Just about to ready for the final day next week.... will be following your story and successes
I Dont Smoke
Is probably the best advice or "MINDSET" I can give.
Not One Puff Ever is another.
I love your new found attitude and realization that you are not just giving in to 1 cigarette but possibly another lifetime of the vicious circle of feeding the nicotine addiction. We are addicts and if that realization also sticks, it can take you far. We do not smoke because we enjoy it, but because we don't like feeling the way we do when we don't smoke. Thankfully, that is temporary and it is worth the pain. You don't realize the full "gain" until you are totally free. It is WONDERFUL!
