I like to be prepared, and even though I feel a little bit like the guy in the picture, it didn’t discourage me very much. It started to sink in a little bit, I didn’t just give up smoking…I try to overcome an addiction. A friend sent this to me in the early stage of my quit, and it became my daily guide!
Avoid…Alter…Accept…Believe…Behave…Cope…Calm…Delay…Distract
“Every day might not be good – but there is something good in every day” that’s pretty much how I look at life in general, but not lately!
I smoked for so long that it seemed to be just a part of me. I was one of those happy smokers! I knew it was a bad habit, but didn’t beat myself up over it. Life was different 30 years ago; smokers were happy in commercials, and famous people recommended cigarettes.
