Honesty in your quit!

Recommended Posts

You have to be honest with yourself in order to quit smoking.

 

You need to honestly say I will give it a 100% try from your heart!

 

You can not have a secret stash of smokes in a drawer just in case

 

or that extra pack in your glove box or in the garage for an emergency!

 

I threw out 4 full packs plus the pack I was half way done with!

 

I had never did that before on my many many quits in the past!

 

I thought if I saw going to give in this time, I would have to go to the store!

 

Maybe I was finely being honest with myself or just tired of quitting but

 

it worked and that old saying: "Honesty is the best policy" held true for me,

 

And I bet if you are honest with yourself it will work for you!

 

You have nothing to loose and the rest your life to gain!

In some circles I frequent, there is a saying "Half measures will avail us nothing......"

 

I figured I couldnt expect to do this thing halfheartedly. If I was going to try and quit, I was going to need to give it my all, otherwise I was setting myself up to fail.......and what a stinking waste of time and energy that would be. 

All in....or all out.

No half measures.

It's just been a long series of five minute episodes of not smoking for the past  couple months. Hey, if I gotta deal with  the hassle fifteen maybe twenty minutes a day well okay. Could be worse. As a matter of fact, the first week was a lot worse. This last week has been periodically irritating.

Great post.

 

And if you feel you can't commit to all of the above, through fear or the self fulfilling prophecy of the other failed quits....just do it anyway. Great book to understand and manage any fear is The Chip Paradox..... ;)

Have you taken the opportunity to enjoy some of this fine weather by driving around town, windows down, looking for smokers to yell at?

Always makes me feel better :p

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.
