Self for-filling prophecy.

I am doing what I always wanted to prove to myself; that I could quit without nicotine replacement - that's why my self for-filling prophecy came out... so I pulled of the patch when I closes in to going on without and smoked.

 

3 cigarettes I smoked; they tasted horribly. I faced my biggest fear, continuing or better said quitting without nicotine replacements.

 

I read Joel's article on low blood sugar the first 3 days and since my stomach gets heartburn' I use sugar in my tea. In one day and a halve I'm going to cut down on the sugar, but if I need it for I'd say a week I won't make it a huge problem.

 

I'm discovering I CAN in act quit without nicotine. I even visited my smoking neighbor the first day. I said NOPE. I'm no longer going to avoid smokers. They smoke, I quit smoking and am an ex-smoker. I CHOOSE TO N.O.P.E.

 

I 'relapsed' because I knew I would, I CHOOSE to pick up a cigarette. Like said all over the place its planned when you relapse. And it's true. Those 3 months we're fake still on a lifeline with nicotine.

 

NOW I AM FREE, BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO (and somewhere I got the confidence I could pull pull it off)

 

But I'm closing off my second day and am SO thankful for the strenght and mercy God has shown me and by that I grew in confidence.

 

Those 3 months were like the little toddlers pool, where I sat and relaid on the nicotine to work. Now I threw myself in the deep. And you know what? It's not nearly as scary as I thought it would be.

Good work with just jumping into the new quit and not being too hard on yourself for the stumble! Your reflection into your relapse sounds healthy and something you can work with and use going forward. It sounds like you have a great attitude. Keep it up! You can do it!

As you probably know, the problem with nicotine replacement is that you still experience nicotine withdrawal symptoms. All day every day. And it never ends. As long as you use the patch or the gum, you will experience nicotine cravings. All day every day.

 

Getting rid of nicotine entirely is the only way to stop the withdrawal. So, while it may sound scary, cold turkey is really easier on your mind and your body than is NRT. 

 

You're doing great! You head is in a really good place. Make quitting smoking your #1 priority for the next month and you will be OK!
