It is taxing and challenging to stop smoking however given the desire, can do attitude, NRT, coping skills and support group you can quit smoking. Smokes are not a buddy of yours; it is so odd that I use to think that way.
Would you believe me, if I said to you that I don�t miss smoking? I know of many x-smokers and I have asked a few of them if they missed lighting up. A common answer that they gave is, they don�t think about it. Oh then, they don�t dwell, and smoking is not an option. Where have we heard that before? Is that how we can success also? I guess you can say they have grown away from it, have departed and as it should be. A phase we are just beginning to grow out of ourselves on the journey to join up with our x smoking colleagues.
I don�t think in any way that I had a particularly easy quit however, I kept in under wraps, tied in up in knots early on, never to give it the upper hand. I have felt quit for a long, long time now many, many months. I have nearly forgotten what smoking was like. See as it should be. I�m trying to remember just what it did for me.
I understood and believed that if other people could quit well than I most certainly could quit as well. That�s it and that�s all there is to it. I�m no better or worse, I am just me.
Take a moment to pay tribute to yourself for a job exceedingly well done. Admit it, you are feeling great, you�re a tough independent person and you are a hero.
