Binge

Unchartered territory.  No oars, motor, navi, or map.  Howdy!!!   Still not sure whether or not this content will be read.  How did you quit smoking?  Was it planned or on a whim?  Mine was both.  I planned, quit, then failed,.  Tried again and again.  Until I finally quit.  Just quit.  Decided that was that, read Carr's book again (yep, first time failed), found a supportive forum.  I quit. Quit. Done. Next. Moving on.  I did not binge prior to my final quit.  I have binged before.  The mentality being -"I'm going to smoke and drink until I'm so sick I'll never want to do this again!"

 

So, after 18+ months, I am thankfully labeled a non-smoker. ex-smoker,  PERSON THAT DOES NOT SMOKE!

 

I don't smoke.

 

I eat.  And ate.  A lot. 

 

I ate too much over the course of 18 months. 

 

This evening I binged.   On food.  And drink.  

 

I re-read the books.  

 

A different quit starts tomorrow.

 

I binged today knowing I would not tomorrow.

 

This weight must come off & it will.

 

I quit smoking.  I can do anything.

 

And I will.

Mine was both too lust in that I had been telling myself for almost two months that the party(?) was over. I had changed where I smoked in preparation. And then one day I just said to myself, I'm done.

I know you will tackle your diet with the same tenacity that you did with smoking. I have full faith that you will succeed :)

"I quit smoking.  I can do anything. And I will"

 

These are truthful statements, Lusty one.  They  expose your power, your access to your power.

 

I think sometimes after quitting, we can hold on to something like food or drink or ?

and give our spoiled brat addict idiot  permission to act out.

Don't berate yourself about it, it is just human and can be remedied with all of the skills acquired in your quit.

 

You know how to take control of yourself and you will. 

This remarkable genie is not going back into the bottle, you know too much

and you have a stash of confidence to draw from.

 

You will discover new inventive ways to reward yourself because food/drink are no longer serving you.

Have some fun with this, you deserve it, you quit smoking ! 

This is a very big deal, the rest will settle down in time.

 

Congratulation on your quit and on your new revolution. 

We are with you all the way.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
