I "quit" my twenty year professional cleaning service ( actually the high costs of Workers comp in the state at the time forced me to close). </span> </p> <p> I quit my ice cream truck business (because it sucked watching everyone having a good time while I was out putting two steps forward and ending up one step back). </p> <p> I quit throwing shingles to him up on the roof ( that one was his own fault for being a jerk on the roof). </p> <p> And then I quit smoking... </p> <p> I've quit quitting many a time and never really called them relapses because quite honestly I never quit to begin with. I simply abstained for a while. </p> <p> I really had to work myself up to just doing it. I gave myself little pep talks for months leading up to my forever quit. Saying things like "all good(?) things must come to an end". Then I would remind myself of all the things I had outgrown and convinced myself that smoking would soon be one of them. </p> <p> So on Sunday May 29, 2016 around 5:00 pm I smoked the last cigarette in my pack and that was that. Or so I thought..... </p> <p> Over the next five or so hours I proceeded to smoke every butt in my ashtrays. You see, I didn't tell anyone I quit just in case I failed so I hadn't cleaned and put away the ashtrays. So on Sunday May 29, 2016 at 10:15 pm I quit. </p> <p> It wasn't always easy and some days were downright brutal for me but most of that was my own darn fault. I didn't embrace the beauty in being a quitter. I was too busy feeling sorry for myself for not " getting" to smoke like everyone else could. </p> <p> Looking back now i truly believe your mindset is what is going to dictate how hard or how easy your quit will be. Choose easy.... </p> </article> </main></body></html>
