Journey so far

HI

I've tried several times to quit and have always gone back to smoking.

I'm really wanting this time to never go back to smoking.

I'm really enjoying being a non smoker .

I've noticed small differences this time.

The biggest breakthrough has been that it doesn't bother when others smoke around me.

I also am saving up for a pair of new gym shoes and just saw how much I've saved so far.

I know that it won't be easy but I think it will be worth it to became a non smoker.

I'm trying to teach myself that I can became a non smoker and that it is never too late.

I'm turning 42 this year and I want to get healthy.

I recently realised that I will have problems and challenges regardless of whether I smoke or not.

When I was younger I used to smoke when I was in social situations I was very shy  or when i was depressed about something a relationship breakdown or work stress or family stress.

I used to enjoy smoking on my own too and spent alot of time smoking before doing things I knew I needed to get done -mostly I smoked out of boredom too.

I think about all the reasons and i look back now and realise that I'd rather be smoke free.

I wish everyone all the best in quitting.

I will continue on this journey until I succeed.
