SMOKERS... LETS KICK the HABIT!!

Kätzchen · 11-01-2022, 09:42 PM

I am grateful for the 5 months I have been smoke free. I quit smoking on June 6th of this year, with the aid of 30 days on medication from my primary doctor and behavioral therapy, as well. It was really rough during the entire month of June. I thought I was going to lose my mind. Then in July, there was the day I was hit by the driver who totaled my car and I thought of nothing but lighting up a cigarette, to mitigate my stress load that day, but I didn't cave in and I got through it, but again, it was fucking rough.

Now it is November and life has been super stressful and still, I have not broken my promise to myself, to remain smoke free.

It is a struggle. The struggle is real.

But I am feeling better each day and I work on changing my thought process and correct my behaviors that kept me chained to smoking cigarettes.

The day I do not think of smoking anymore is the day I will know I am finally free of a very bad habit that nearly ruined my life.

Four years come January 23 no puffin and no regrets. I get the urge but kick that little horned one off my shoulder.

Two years smoke free, since June 6th 2022.

Next week, on June 6th, will mark 3 years that I have remained smoke free. Luckily, none of my friends smoke either. When I first quit smoking three years ago, some of the people I was friends with were smokers. They’re not a part of my close circle of friends, anymore. Being smoke free is a gift to myself that requires diligent efforts to not have smoke or smokers in my life.

I’m very glad I got help to quit smoking. It’s the best gift I’ve ever given to myself.
