February Daily Pledge is Up

The Valentine Month.  How much do you love yourself?  Enough to quit?  Are you doing it for someone else, maybe?  Because they want you around for a long, LONG time.  Maybe they’re you grandchild and don’t even know yet that they want you around for a long time.  But YOU do.  You want to be there for them.  And not let them have a remembrance of you as that person who had to carry around an oxygen tank or suck on an inhaler, or died prematurely because you just didn’t quit soon enough.  
If you’re new to the quitting journey you will get a lot of advice on this site as to tools and techniques that will help you.  The Daily Pledge is one very simple, yet effective tool that will help you be strong when you feel weak.  A simple daily promise not to smoke.  For that day.  Just that day.   No matter what.  
We need to hold ourselves accountable for our quits, especially in the early stages of them.  This is a method to help you do so.  
Come.  Pledge.  You’ve nothing to lose but everything to gain.  
This is  my last Daily Pledge monthly post.  Our dear, stalwart Terrie will be taking it over in March.  Thank you Terrie!  She’s a shining example of someone who pledges every day to protect her quit. 
Will you do the same?
 

About the Author
Member since MAY 2008. I quit smoking March 1, 2006. I smoked a pack and a half a day for about 35 years. What did it take to get me smoke free? Perseverance, a promise not to smoke, and a willingness to be uncomfortable for as long as it took to get me to where I am today. I am an Ex but I have not forgotten the initial difficult journey of this rite of passage. That's one of the things that's keeping me proudly smoke free. I don't want to ever have another Day 1 again. You too can achieve your goal of being finally free forever. Change your mind, change your habits, alter your focus, release the myths you hold about smoking. And above all - keep your sense of hewmer. DAY WON - NEVER ANOTHER DAY ONE. If you still want one - you're still vulnerable. Protect your quit!
