January 23, 20206 yr I was desperate.... It was mind boggling and I didn't have any answers!! It seemed as though everyone else around me knew how to but I didn't!!!! Oh how frustrating I felt, how is it possible for them and not ME!!! I did it exactly the way they said to do it. Nothing. I'm stronger than that person, I know it should have worked!!( I said to myself) She's not really trying hard and its working for her! What's the deal? Why not me? Well.....until I went WAY DOWN inside of me and made a FIRM, NO TURNING BACK DECISION to NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!!! Did it begin to work!!! I couldn't believe it! IT WAS WORKING FOR ME!!!!!! Day after day, it was working. Don't get me wrong...some days I had to fight like HECK!! But It is so worth the fight!!! Just a few lines to encourage those coming through the ranks to not give up on yourself!!!! YOU can make this journey If you only believe !!!! Edited January 23, 20206 yr by QueenB
January 23, 20206 yr Great post Q..... As long as you stick to NOPE ....it will work for anyone .... Take Smoking Off The Table ...my junkie's brain understood ...never take another puff no matter what ... Good for you ....
January 23, 20206 yr My thinking was like yours @QueenB. I just could not quit. I even became resolved to the fact that I would die of a smoking related illness. Is that sad? I was resolved to the fact I was killing myself! I tried everything to quit and was never successful. I accidentally came across this forum and found a whole cheering section. These people let me know that I had the power to do it. I feel as if they took my hands and guided me to the finish line. If you are lurking on the forum, know that we are here to help you find success. You can quit.
January 23, 20206 yr The higher the price the sweeter the prize. When the price is paid in agony & doubt the payoff becomes a treasure. You do not quit. You change...habits, perspectives, values. "Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as being stuck somewhere you don't belong." - Mandy Hale "Change is never painful. Only the resistance to change is painful" - Siddhartha Gautama <== I like this quote but I've not evolved far enough to walk that way.
January 25, 20206 yr Diggin Deep, Belief in yourself and a firm strong N.O.P.E helped me too. Good job
