Wednesday's Promise - Determination

I am using "The Self-Empowerment Pledge" as a guiding light at the moment. I stumbled upon it somewhere on the Ex site, but I cannot seem to find it again. I did however find this gif.

Anyway Wednesday's Promise is as follows: I will do the things I'm afraid to do, but which I know should be done. Sometimes this will mean asking for help to that which I cannot do by myself.

I still feel like I'm in the daze-faze of my quit and although the above words make sense to me (kinda) I found that I needed to rework it so that it rang true to me in this head fog. So here's my interpretation:

I promise to do the important things that I am afraid to do, even though I'm afraid to do them. 
I know I don't like asking for help, but I need to reach out so that I can keep my promise. 
Asking for help isn't a weakness. Relying on others is key to my success. 

I kept my promise and didn't smoke today. I connected with others here and made an effort to "just show up" and read blogs, ask questions and connect with others.  

I'm usually the 'helper' not the one being helped. I'm grateful to all the helpers here who have travelled this path before me and who are facing their fears with me. I'm humbled by this community's warmth and willingness to support me and others through our quits. 

Sending love and light to all those who need it tonight.
