Hi Sticking to it,
 
Great post.  I like that you mention "Drop the doubts".   It's too easy to think that you can't overcome cravings or intense urging to smoke or often, that it will help deal with stress.   But the choice lies within.  You can beat the addiction.  Many members that never thought they could - have.  It requires small steps and dedication.  Believing that you are capable to live smoke-free.  
 
Thanks for these reminders and continue to stay strong! Vincenza, Health Educator

Hope all is well you.  Hello everyone!

 

 

Where it started:

 

 

I do remember the evening I quit smoking, the day the stealers beat the Seahawks in the 2006 super bowl.  After several beers that evening and no smokes, I went to bed and woke up the next morning thinking “Oh My God” what have I done! I’ve made a commitment t to myself.  I’m not suppose to smoke today. Really, really, that can’t be so, say it’s not so.  Tentative times but we will stick with it and realize it is worth it and it does get easier.

 

 

The middle ground:

 

 

In the area of two to three months upward of two years, likely have it beat however temptations, curiosity or too self assured of your capability to have only one.  Can end your quit, may find yourself back to “Where it started” or may wait several years to attempt to quit once again.

 

 

The end goal and beyond: 

 

 

No pleasure in smoking so what’s the point.  Expect knowledge of Not One Puff  Ever and are perfectly fine with that.

 

 

People quit smoking so imagine you being one of these people. Imagine it.  You are people too, so means you can quit too.  Really, think it and imagine it.  Drop the doubts.

 

 

We spent a good deal of our lives addicted.  Let’s see what the other side has to offer.
