Music can help us get through the most trying of times, but in my experience, never more so than during the early days of a quit. Although I'm not particularly an Eminem fan, his song 'Lose Yourself' struck a chord with me, specifically these bits:
You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow, cos opportunity comes once in a lifetime...
Success is my only (bleep!) option failure's not...
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot, so here I go is my shot, feet fail me not, this maybe the only opportunity that I got...
For me, even the title 'Lose Yourself' couldn't be more appropriate, for aren't we doing just that - losing the 'I'm a smoker' label.
So I propose we create our own Quittin' IPod, with songs that inspire us to keep going. A few others that kept me going:
I Will Survive
Walkin' on Sunshine
I Can See Clearly Now
Roll With the Changes (So if you're tired of the same old story, turn some pages...)
Over to you, gang?
