Day 15, cigarettes are not going to go away as easy as everything else. I feel like I'm failing, I've smoked 6 cigarettes today. I guess if you go by percentage that's less than half of what I usually smoke, so maybe I'm not failing. Maybe I just need to work harder at it. It seems like it was easy to quit crack and beer. I've done my pros and cons and can clearly see that it's just plain stupid to smoke. Not 1 pro and a ton of cons but I can't stop thinking about it, its kinda depressing. But I'm not gonna let it get me down. This is a battle I know I can win. I'll have to come up with a new game plan. Well tonight is going to be short because I have another topic on my mind, but I cannot talk about it until I know for sure what all the facts are. It is something I have been writing in my head all day long, tomorrow will be a long page, two days to think about something is a long time for me, cigarettes are for idiots, they got to go, see you tomorrow, Jim
Cigarettes, I hear are harder than anything else except maybe meth, hang in there, smoking less is still good. You can do it but it is a real fight. Sending you my good vibes, hugs, Sandra.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma cured me of the idea of even starting to smoke when I was a kid. She would get up every morning and drink black coffee out a saucer between bouts of hacking for at least a half an hour straight coughing up gray stuff into a trash can, and then she would smoke her filter-less Camels to the tune of a pack or two a day. It was disgusting, but I grew up in a house full of smokers, including my younger sister (though she has since quit). When I moved away from home at eighteen, I finally knew what it was like to live in a smoke-free environment. It was wonderful! I'm still praying for your success. With God, all things are possible. {:o)
ReplyDeleteGiving up is hard. But the reward is great. Don't be too hard on yourself if it takes longer than you expected. Maybe set the number you will smoke each day then start cutting down. So every day you smoke only that number you are a success! Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing this right a long with you!! It IS veery hard, but you are NNOT failing if you are cutting down. That's how I'm doing it. When ever I want to smoke, I find something to do and the next thing I know, another hour or 2 has gone by without me smoking. You got this, Jim!!! We both do!!
