Still Trying to Quit Smoking

Hello everyone!

Thanks for visiting my blog.  I'm still smoking.  Some days I smoke only a half a pack and other days I smoke a whole pack.  It’s getting harder and harder to say no when I get the urge to smoke.

I have been practicing a mindfulness technique that requires us to simply ‘watch’ the urge, but don’t act upon it.  It’s easy to watch the urge to smoke and it does go away quickly.  Hmmmm.  I may keep trying this mindfulness technique.

A couple days ago I went all morning and afternoon without smoking.  When 5 pm arrived I went to the store and bought a pack that lasted two days.  I'm trying to change my life and a big part of that is to give up cigarrets.
