Second blog , first day! I'm addicted!

[stephsafighter71]

This is my second blog today, but I just had to come back and let anyone reading,know that this site has been a really good experience for me. My quit date isn't until Febuary 2nd, but I have been "practicing" quitting all day. Sounds weird but, I have been reading these blogs and working on my trigger points and it's kept me busy. Therefore I haven't been reaching for that smoke that I usually want. I even made a batch of hot cinnamon hard tack candy to reach for as a replacement. I also found that brushing my teeth when I feel an urge works great. Anyway, I just want to thank everyone that replies to these blogs. Having this support is exactly what I needed the last time I tried to quit!

Perfect.

see you know you can do this now. It's really just a matter of changing your thinking from I can't to I can.

Your doing great and haven't even qquit yet now that you know you can this quit will be your last with your experience from past attempts and the Ex, and your hard work and a good attitude. That candy sounds yummy.

You keep on practicing and before you know it you will be ready to quit.

Heck, I've seen people post 3 or 4 blogs in a day! Dale does it all the time! 🙂

He's dedicated his time and energy to helping others quit. And, I can't think of a more noble cause to champion. I believe this site is helping save so many lives.

Hi Steph!   Glad to see you are reading/blogging/listening!    You sound motivated to do this and that plus education is what it takes.

How do you make hot cinnamon hard tack candy?     I love atomic fire balls and they saved many a day when I first quit.      Think I might like your candy then!

Keep coming here.   And like Moody said, blog as much as you want to!     I've always said I blog for me......and I have done it every day (except 2) since I came here in July, 2013.

Welcome!
