God Bless America!

[ShawnP]

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

Reposting this from last week. As we celebrate our nation's birthday with family and friends, let's not forget to protect our quits.

   As the saying goes..."Make a Plan, Failure To Plan Is Planning To Fail"

   Remember:

   "Having just 1 or just for today" is NOT okay. There is no such thing as just one when it comes to nicotine addiction.

   If you are new in your quit or in NML, DON'T DRINK!!   If you are confident in your quits and you do drink, BE CAREFUL. Limit your alchohol and drink water in between with a lemon.

   Plan an escape route. If people are around you that are smoking and it begins to bother you, explain that you just quit and excuse yourself for a little while and get some fresh air so that you can change your thoughts and refocus. 

   If you are so worried about going to a party, simply don't go. There is always another time or year. 

   If the cravings get so strong, remember your Lifelines. Tommy wrote a blog titled "Key To Freedom, Remember Your Lifelines" https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/pir8fan-blog/2013/01/15/key-to-freedom-remember-your-lifeli...

   "Quitting smoking is NOT a sacrifice, it's a gift!!!!" We are all on a journey for a better life that is free from addiction.
