Day 46 of my quit

For all of the years of trying, this is finally it.  I've run across many of my journal entries from past years and New Year's resolutions that cite quitting smoking as one of my greatest priorities.  I'm tired of writing the same goal over and over and feeling disappointed with myself for not being strong enough to do it.  It has been reassuring to read that quitting is not dependent on pure will power, as I have tried to do so many times.  It's also comforting to see the lack of judgement and acceptance within this community and to feel that I am in such good company.  I am very grateful that you all are there.  Here goes, wish me continued luck...

No luck involved. You made the commitment, you are doing the work, and you NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH DAY ONE OF A QUIT AGAIN!

It's all up to you!  Keep going!

Congratulations on 46 days @Nmgp20 . I typically made the quit smoking resolution each NY also. I didn't know I was an addict for the first 30 or so years of being a smoker. You are right that there is no willpower needed. I made the commitment to myself that I wouldn't have to work through being uncomfortable for as long as it takes. You can do this! 💪💪💪

I know exactly what you mean!  But now that we are free of nicotine and have this site, we don’t ever have to be ashamed about those past practice quits again.  They got us here to this one!  The last quit that is freedom.   We can keep quit like these other elders have (who were just like us!)

About the Author
I am recently retired and smoked for about 33 years. I was successful in quitting once, for 8 years, another for a year and recently for 8 months. My dream is to pull this off in retirement and become the respectable EX elder that I know I can be.
