They Are Only Thoughts

[JonesCarpeDiem]

Once I quit, I never fought myself. Yes, I thought about smoking, probably as often as expected of anyone quitting after smoking for 40 years but, I never considered it.

Never thought about bumming one

Never went to the store or even out to my truck

I just never let it get that far.

You have the same control.

Find it and use it. Learn to distract yourself from smoking thoughts from the beginning by realizing they are only thoughts and you will get there..

Living is more than thinking about smoking. I did that for 40 years.

Living life is so much better without the crutch of cigarettes, stick with your quit, stay strong and see for yourself how much better life is but give it some time to get to that good place.

I'm afraid to call this my forever quit because I relapsed after two years 😞

there is no outside force that makes us smoke.

Yep you can be your own best friend or worst enemy. It's a choice.

[TerrieQuit]

I choose not to bum, buy, or smoke!..............

It IS a choice and it is NOT an option unless you make it one.

It's so important to get your mind focused on something else.  If you sit there dwelliing in the well of smoking thoughts they will drown you.  They ARE only thoughts, but thoughts are what lead to actions.  Gotta change our thoughts to change our actions.

For me it was changing my thought pattern to "I am a non smoker".  Thinking you might relaspe sets up thoughts that should not be in your mind. Just my opinion.

You are so right, living IS more than just thinking about smoking. I choose not to smoke and I choose not to fight myself over that decision

My feed is not showing today's blogs thus far so I went to your page to view some literature.  I am not in jeopardy but rather staying on top of my focus.  I thank you for your dedication.
