It looks like another dry sunny (though cold) day. Im looking forward to laying down some more tracks on the trail Ive been blazing fast at work today, i think ramping up my caffine intake has made up for the lack of nicotine It gets easier each day, i can tell my sense of smell is returning a lil bit, i can smell the smoke on my leather jacket i wore today. Im obviously not done with the whole process, but i gotta say this was a lot easier than i had imagined. I know you say you dont have any inspiration to quit Blake, but i can tell you that its easier than you might think. I started smoking a lil younger than you, dont wait eight years like i did to quit. Smoking isnt cool, being in great shape is The ultraskate was my inspiriation, i hope maybe it can be yours too.
i know it isnt cool and tennis way harder for me then it use to be. and i know i should quite. i am thinking soon i will find something that will make me quite _________________ The concrete is our canvas, our wave, our playgound, our catalyst for growth. When you feel it, flow with it, live in the moment; and shred it like you'll never skate again, everytime.
That came out preachier than i had intended, im sorry. If theres one thing ive learned from this experience its that the motivation for quitting has to come from within to be successful.
You have to really want to quit, to be able to do it.
If you believe that you really want to quit, then quit with the excuses and quit smoking. Every time you find a reason why it's hard it is an excuse to smoke. Don't fall for it......every time you focus on the negative, STOP. Change tracks and focus on the positive. When your focused on the positive you can't be stopped. Use the negative things you find creeping in, to strengthen the positives by realizing you don't want those negatives to begin with.
Feeling grumpy?....look at what addiction does to you.
feeling sick?....forgot that smoking was poison to your body eh.
Mind over matter, that's all it is........and your what matters _________________ No matter where you go, there you are....
Tonight at 9pm will be two weeks smoke free for me. Im proud of what ive accomplished so far, but i also know i still have work to do. I sometimes get weird cravings for a cigar or the hookah or my buddy's electric cigarette (effing wierd if you ask me), and i have to tell myself that i cant do those things yet. There might be a time where i can enjoy the hookah or a cigar without starting smoking again, but i know that now is just too soon. It really is mind over matter as you said bele. I often thought about it this way: getting a tattoo hurts at times, but you wouldnt tell the artist to stop, it would be unthinkable. Thats how i felt about quitting, it might hurt here and there, but going back to being a smoker is unthinkable, it simply isnt an option, so i just take a deep breath and keep going with my day. Thanks for all your support guys, especially James, having your support and encouragement has helped me reach this milestone.
Congrats on making it this far, I would say you've done it. The cravings/urges keep happening. At least they keep happening to me and I quit around two years ago now. _________________ No matter where you go, there you are....
Three weeks down and still going strong. I had some freinds over last night and we used the hookah and i was worried i would be tempted to smoke cigarettes afterwards but i wasnt. The only time its still really hard is right after i eat, but i suppose that will go away eventually. Im pretty sure ive beaten it now, yay.
My biggy was not after eating, I could always have another bite. I however Had major issues with the habit of getting into my car and having a smoke...go figure. I am happy that I quit after the divorce though, as I would have freaked if I couldn't have had my post coitus smoke.....lol _________________ No matter where you go, there you are....
lol. i still drive with the window down even though i havent smoked in weeks and i live in seattle (ie. it rains a lot). I guess some habits just die harder than others.
