Share your quitting journey
Here at the EX we get/give all the support and encouragement needed to attain and maintain our Forever Quit.
One of the biggest "helps" for me has been to make a daily pledge/promise to not smoke for that day.
What is a promise?
a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen
What is a pledge?
a solemn promise or agreement to do or refrain from doing something
Either way.....it is a commitment (the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity) to something that matters in your life.
We know that saying something in a positive way gives a better opportunity for success. So, to say "I'll try to not smoke today" would be giving yourself the wiggle room to back out of a promise.
Much more powerful to say "I promise to not smoke for today"
Then to add to the UMPH of the power of making a promise/pledge/commitment is to join forces with someone else with the same goal. So, we join hands to get/give strength in this goal for the day.
This is a huge reason that I am shouting out my 542 Days of Freedom today.
So, will you join me? Just grab my hand and make your personal pledge today.
Here we go:
I promise that I will not smoke today no matter what comes my way. I offer my hand out to the next to want this for themselves.
