Wise words.....'Embrace The Suck'


Soberjulie

Recommended Posts

I dunno if Sarge still posts here but some of his no nonsense, shoot from the hip, tell it like it is words helped me immensely in my first days...weeks...months.

The best:

Embrace The Suck.

 

You'll have moments, many moments, where quitting just plain sucks.

If you're anything like me, you'll think of throwing the towel in....because...."the way I feel sucks!"

 

Embrace the suck.

Accept it.

Head down and power through it!

 

Wherever you are Sarge.....thank you.

I've earned them stripes!

I'm coming up on 2 years.......and I never ever have to 'embrace the suck' in regards to nicotine anymore.

But Embrace The Suck has been instrumental in many areas of my life :)

Sarge is still around.

Likely tending his orchard and planting this year's crops

or out climbing mountains with Mrs. Sarge.

 

'Embrace The Suck'

was helpful to me, too.

Ah yes.  Embracing the suck.  

 

Wherein we embrace and take ownership of our pain.

 

Been there, down that, got the T-shirt, Coffee cup, Tote Bag, Baseball cap, Beer mug, Ball point pen, Bumper Sticker....

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.
