November 11, 20187 yr During the first year there are a plethora of 'seasonal' triggers. Autumn/Winter may include family 'togetherness' which is sometimes not very 'together' and triggers an urge to smoke. These emotional responses are normal. Some of our families are a piece of work, for sure. Keep in mind H A L T. Are you Hungry- Angry (emotional)-Lonesome (bored, fed-up lol)-Tired-Stressed out ? Do you just need a break ? Step outside and take a few clear clean breaths. Center yourself. Congratulate yourself on quitting smoking. Give yourself a reward for keeping it together. You quit smoking ! Celebrate your freedom every day.
November 11, 20187 yr And remember the train runs 24/7 so come here as much as needed and we'll give you all the support you could want or need Edited November 11, 20187 yr by jillar
November 11, 20187 yr The season changes affect everyone differently so be on the look out for those dark thoughts...when they start creeping in cast them out immediately because they do not deserve your time! Be happy you are not out in the cold tryimg to find the one spot the wind isn't blowing, freezing off you butts and toes!
