When I quit smoking on Sept 7, I printed a Sept calendar sheet so I could put a red X on something each day I didn't smoke. Today marks 23 days and is the last day of the month. Felt great to have to print out a new sheet for October. Not a month of not smoking yet, but just the action of having to change the calendar felt so good.
And taped at the bottom of my calendar is a small sheet that says:
"If you quit now...
You'll end up right back
where you first began.
And when you first began,
you were desperate to be
right where you are now.
Keep going."
Those red X's remind me of all I would be giving up if I take even one puff.
