When I came here to BecomeanEX, I was a Serial Quitter but now I had to find the Long Haul – the Forever Quit!
Because of the Folks who had come before me I was able to sort out my Thoughts and Feelings separate from my Actions. Thoughts and Feelings compel Action but they don’t dictate them. They just are! Executive Control in your Brain decides one’s actions.
YES – I was compelled to smoke during the first weeks – BUT I DIDN’T! I decided that that wasn’t going to happen! YES – I had Addictive Thoughts during the first 4 Months! But I didn’t feed those thoughts with Personal Power! I directed my energy to other places and kept stack those days with Commitment.
YES - I Experienced 2 Full Years of Seasonal Triggers but I always kept in mind that I was in control – not those triggers!
YES – I still get an occasional sabotage thought, even a strong feeling – sometimes situational, sometimes a memory gone rogue, sometimes well, who knows? It just is! – but I refuse to sacrifice my FREEDOM for a dead leaf!
As Life throws it’s Best and Worst at me I have to remain vigilant with the same basic tools I acquired those first days: N.O.P.E. and N.E.F. as well as S.I.N.A.O.
Not One Puff Ever
Never Ever Forget
Smoking is NOT an Option!
Make those tools very strong in your mind! Keep them handy and polished!
And remember you always have a Choice! Time will take care of the rest!
I just want to take a moment here to Thank All of the Elders who brought me to this place! I did the work but they shined the light onto the path in front of me!
Thank You – for literally saving my LIFE!
