Good Wednesday morning,
It was on a Wednesday morning 5 weeks ago that I decided to quit smoking. (July 4th). I packed my pockets full of positive thinking and tore up the remaining cigaretts I had left, one at a time, I broke them into pieces and told myself the reason why I did not want to smoke that cigarette. There were 18 cigarettes left in the pack and by the time I got to the last one the only reason left was the money spent on them. I was thinking about my reasons this morning and they have all had a positive effect.
1. Oldest Daughter
2. Second Daughter
3. # 1 Grand Child
4. # 2 Grand Child
5. # 3 Grand Child
6. # 4 Grand Child
7. # 5 Grand Child
8. to breathe better
9. to feel better
10. to smell better
11. to have more energy
12. to gain weight
13. to have whiter teeth
14. to have a cleaner smelling house
15. to have a cleaner smelling car
16. to get rid of those messy ash trays
17. for all my friends
18. the money they cost
5 short weeks later I am recieving praise from my children, more hugs from my grand children, every thing looks and smells better about me, my house and car, my friends keep a closer check on me and tell me how proud of me they are. I have recieved numberous gifts as rewards from them all. I have gained 3 pounds ( I am still under weight-but that is going to change too) and I feel soooo much better.
The craves are not bad, more like thoughts and I dismiss them rather quickly.
When I read Duffis's post this morning about positive thinking I just had too post this. It is working for me.
