I'm sorry I haven't been on as much lately to the SSC, but the Holidays were very busy for me and I have been on vacation....but here I am checking in, completely smoke free and loving life. I love seeing all the new quitter's, and hopefully will have time later today to say hi to some of you.
I'm over 8 weeks quit smoking now, and feel unbelievable. The journey hasn't been easy. There have been some extremely low moments and moments of utter dispair, but I made it through and to all the new quitter's you can do this too. Just believe in yourself and dig deep for every ounce of strength you can muster up to get you through day by day, one trigger and crave at a time. That is the only way to beat this addiction. Use whatever tools you have at your disposal, and hit this addiction with everything you have...that is the way you are successful.
One of the big reasons I have been smoke free for more than 8 weeks is pure strength and conviction. This website helps immensley...but this website is not with us when we are driving pass the gas station full of packs of smokes or when we are at a gathering, and someone lights up....those are the times we make our own choice...are we giving in and having "JUST ONE" (which never happens), or are we strong enough to just say NOPE!!!!
Just say NOPE..today...tonight...tomorrow...next week. A smoke free life is wonderful!!!!
Thank you everyone who has been there for me. Without you, I wouldn't have found my strength!!
