That was how I quit drinking. Did not tell a soul accept for God. said me prayers. No AAA stuff no body. I got my self into a frame of mind. I figured out EVERY THING I could possibly dream up about it. Basically every thing I hated then never changed my mind about it again. You see I could not afford to. I wanted to experience life and just drop it to do any thing else..
If for a second I was to think something good. Here is where I had some bad spots. Stress, completing a good job on a project , ate a meal... etc. That can be a tough thing for any of us. Had to stand my ground for just about three weeks.
After week four it was a piece of cake. The problem here lies with IMHO how many folks have at least tried to cut down? That is where it starts with a conscious effort. Quit Frankly you have to at least try. So the switch to turn it off is no where to be found? LOOK for it!!
I can walk through the boos Isle in the grocery store now and don't even deal with Ghosts a bit.. Been I lost track? Mebbe 5 or 6 years now? I am glad I did it. The money I save is pretty Kewl.
Yes I believe I am preaching to the quire about now. As I am to throw away the ciggs as well. *sigh* My Grand Father quit one day around age 60. He was pretty ornery. What He tried to convey to me early on is that this stuff is all in your head. You can will it out..... Just wanna say something that I think can be a encouraging stance.
Problem is that we get so accustom to our habits it becomes all we know. So I dare say be courageous about a one track mind '''away from it''' There was a time when you never needed the stuff. Know that find that.
You worked your way in thinking ya needed it?? Work your way out and stay there!
Dream a little and want for better for our selves in life. I wanna continue to set this goal and change my mind set. God Willing. Its way over due. If I don't try it will never work. Truth is I had not cared till lately and a heck of a lot now. I am almost there. Because right now I hate these things more seriously than I used to.. I do. Gonna keep that mind set too and start a new life. Away from it. Got to start some where? Or it cannot go away....
I am thinking profound things like this is is luggage. Then I think? Why do I carry it around? This crud is money grubbing luggage. It takes my heath and who knows how dang much money I can save. Once again it is just luggage plain and simple..I rhyme that reason with you don't crap where you eat.
For me personally I had the luck of a sobor enough teen age years I would remind my self before, as I did quit cigarettes 3 or 4 times now over the years. Then boos who cannot have a smoke then? This time I am not looking back........... You cannot quit.. if you don't quit. So quit as this fool draws on a smoke to reflect what did I just typed?
Oh man I got work to do. So I do this put it out and don't finish it. Then
They should just label the cig packs luggage...
