I want to RUN!
I will be 50 in 8 weeks time and definitely don't want to grow any older with a cigarette in my hand. I can feel each morning that I am not as fit as I should be, even though I am at the gym 5 days a week...how ridiculous is that! I really want to be able to run but can't with my lungs black with smoke. I really dislike everything about smoking but find myself reaching for a pack as soon I relax or socialise with a wine in my hand. I have given up before but am determined to stay quit this time, once and for all!
It's only been a couple of days but so far I haven't missed smoking. Sure, on my way home from work the thought definitely crosses my mind but with a plan, reason and the help of visualisation It makes it so much easier. "I can quit" is helping me to get to my goal of running....it won't happen over night but I know it will happen.
Well done Keep going -we all know what the results are of having the smoke, I find for me it's a mind set, I have planned to stop smoking tomorrow and will use patches for awhile while I work on redirecting my mind from justifying and using the old stories that I need it somehow or it makes me relax -I know this is not true
