Good morning

So I have spent the morning trying to make plans.  Since I retired I had plans that included spending the morning in the yard.. take a shower and rest on my happy butt.  I really need to do the suzie homemaker thing and dust and clean, but somehow that just hasn't happened.

- Yesterday and today it has rained.  My yard is standing in water I just hope my newly planted seends don't drown.

So I have spent the morning setting up a quit kit.  Re-reading Alan Carr, and journalling my thoughts.   I have set a quit date of May 15.  It is not such a long time away, but is what I feel I need to get ready.

I want to quit again, and I want a forever quit.  I know it just takes putting them down and never picking them up, but I also know that I have to have the right mind set, and it is not quite where it needs to be to work for me.

Hope your day is filled with sunshine and lots of hugs.

 

Wanda

A month is a goodly amount of time to get your head in the right place,  I think.  A strong preparation makes for a strong quit. 

Some seeds need to be soaked in water in order to germin

Hi, you will do fine. My quit day is May 2nd, but 3 days ago I cut way down, so by the time quit day comes, most of my smoking triggers will be un-learned.

Your right, it can take a long time to finally get the right mind set. For me, I can no longer stand the caughing, congestion, stink and expense.. Not to mention, my dignity, being a slave to tobacco companies.

Lots of very helpful stuff to read on this website, and I only just joined yesterday 🙂
