We Quit Cigarettes

[aart]

I discovered recently (a couple years back) that the hairdressers are actually telling the truth when they say you need to get your hair cut regularly if you want it to grow. I gave up on mine and had it cut fairly short. Next time just trimmed. As I cut it regularly it kept getting longer and longer. It's been a couple years now, and it's getting all ragged again--I keep putting it off, but I am amazed at how long it has gotten.

Yeah, I seemed to have a the wall there, have always had thin weak hair, and just buzzed it all off.

I need a kick in the ass and some motivation. I'm finished with this semester!!!! Problem is, the semester isn't finished with me. I got the hardest end of term project done, still have two more to go. And the final exams next week, blehh.

I briefly fell off the wagon yesterday, back on the no smoking wagon today. My tumbles from the wagon have become far less frequent, but still happening.

Get your butt back to work!!
You can do it!
Great that you picked the hardest one first, the others should be easier, eh?

@ShannonR, how are you doing? You can make it through this, just keep at it! The slips will become less and less frequent until, finally, they don't happen at all!
Hang in there. You got this.

You will unless u take some precautions;
We have a little control center in our head which does not like to hear the words...."I will never have another cigarette again".......that is a no no and it responds with it's great might to defeat you.
In addition to all the basic things we are told not to do...i.e....no alcohol, no hot spices, exercise, etc, my 4 year success story was greatly assisted by treating the demands with........" well I won't have a cigarette now but....this evening after dinner (or other desiring times) I will have a nice fresh cigarette". I assure you when the time arrives that little center will remind you that it is time.
Re-dedicate yourself to a future time to have a cigarette but, not at that time....maybe with coffee in the morning. Follow that thru....extending the time of a longer duration as time passes. Example...:

August 8th 2020 is my 4th anniversary...as of right now I plan to have a nice fresh cigarette in the evening in the swing on the front porch with a cold glass of iced tea. Right now all is quiet in the demand column.
On August 9th 2020, ask me how much i enjoyed it. LOL

I have a friend who quit 33 years ago and we talk a couple times a year about the success story as we acknowledge an occasional desire is there.

You can do it...with some simple rules...no one is more addicted than I was.

...and oh yeah....in your daily prayers....ask God for help.
