January 13, 201511 yr Nice ticker Jen..... One day at a time......one hour at a time if need be.....this is how it's done...... Your doing great...
January 13, 201511 yr Author Thanks everyone for the welcomes!! I've been browsing and reading so between that and my regular day it should help keep me busy I hope lol keep trying to knock them images of smoking out my brain and it just isn't working. I did read the 'romancing' post and wow did that person have it pegged! I know there were so many times when I was totally disgusted by smoking and for some reason those are just not the images that come to mind. Go figure :)
January 13, 201511 yr This is one of the images that really made me dig deep to quit for good- 1 year time period - wtf
January 13, 201511 yr Great motivator Humbled .. but on whyquit it says 2 months between photo's! Bryan's story is posted here http://whyquit.com/whyquit/BryanLeeCurtis.html I set this picture as the background on my cell phone for the first 4 weeks.
January 13, 201511 yr Welcome Jen! I still have episodes of romancing, but the key for me is understanding what is happening and that my mind is trying to play tricks on me. One of the things I did early on that helped me was to outline all the things I hated about smoking, and keep the list close to me all the time. For particularly tough craves/triggers I would run through the list and then picture one of my children smoking.
January 15, 201511 yr Welcome Jen! So glad you're here. Stay close to the board read alot ask a lot. We are here for you. Plus you're in good company, the popular name here is Jen or has Jen in it! Lol....keeping marching forward!
