Good that it’s you
I smoked a long time. I got down to quitting right before my 55th birthday after several one to two day stops along habitual smoking life. Not happy that it happened, that I smoked for so long. I just kept smoking and smoking even though I knew; yes, the smokes and I should have parted ways decades ago. There are many ways to poison oneself and I am no stranger to some however smoking crushed the life from my lungs and I would rather have been sailing. And I know that we have similar passions, quitting for one, and that we need to know how to get it done and to have it stay done.
Your end, like ending other habits begins with the awareness: the whys, when’s and where’s, do I smoke. The steps, the distractions that you employ to end the cycle.
So does the desire to smoke end? Yes it does.
Over the past 12 months I have had to deal with several life events, mostly all have come with no smoking urges, you know that desire to light it. You’ll find something else to hang your purse or hat on.
Wishing you all the happiness that money can not buy.
