My insurance company is again making go through this process in order to not have to pay a penalty. So I am back to complete my requirement for this year. Frustrating.
Just curious - how does your insurance company know that you are here? You mean you can post one blog and save the penalty? Does not sound very frustrating to me......
I quit once before for 10 years. I know that in order to quit, that I have to be ready and want it. I am getting close to that and I think that this will be a valuable resource when that time comes. But, I also know that if you try to quit before you want it, it is doomed to failure.
Actually, you don't have to want to quit - but you must be WILLING to quit. They really are a bit different. I hope you will join us again when you are willing.
Take care, Jerry. It's a hard journey, regardless of your reasons. We're here to help, but you know that the only way you can succeed is you. You obviously know how, if you went a decade without smoking! You can do it again 🙂
I did not know that there was a form stating that you had completed the program! I have been here over a year andI won't feel that the program is complete until I die a former smoker! I hope you will come back and join us on our journey and make it your journey, too!
Nancy (youngatheart) is correct...........think about it this way.......NO ONE....NO ONE wishes they were a smoker.
Gosh----I wish I was a smoker!!!! Ridiculous!!
Even when we were smoking and thought we enjoyed it (and yes---that's a lie also---no one really enjoys it and you come to realize that when you quit) but even then....we didn't really want to be a smoker......spend $8.00+ per day? Smell? Have to be a pariah in today's society? Have even small children say.......smoking is bad for you? No...no one wants to be a smoker.
Everyone really wants to be a non smoker........BUT----they do not want to go through the "quit process". They are afraid it is awful, agonizing, terrible, impossible.........but it is not. It is difficult. Anything worth doing usually is. But, it is not impossible and with support, can be done.
I hope you quit and not just for the insurance but for YOU. I also quit for a long time and started again. I have 6 almost 7 years quit now..... BUT....had I kept my first quit ,I would have had almost 40 years quit.
