This is my three week pep talk for those of you with less days than me into your quit. Is it easy to quit...not all the time. You have your good moments and your bad ones. One day, I feel like I'm on top of the world, and the next day, all I can think about is having a cig. But today is a new day, and I feel great. It's the today's that I live for. Today, I am smoke free for 20 days. Today I remind myself that I am quitting for better quality of life and to get rid of an addiction that eventually will kill me if I continued to smoke. I'm doing this for myself, for my kid's, for my family and for my friends. I want to watch my kid's get married and see my grandchildren be born, and then marry themselves. I want to take vacations with my husband and my friends and I want to see another 60 or 70 more Christmas mornings. I can't do any of this if I am sick or dieing from smoking. To the newbies....it does get easier, but you will still have moments of cravings, but remember when you get a craving, it will pass, and tomorrow is a new day, and with tomorrow, you have a renewed HOPE that you made it one more day without smoking, and by each craving that you fight through and make it through you and your body and mind are a little stronger for the next one. Today, we all have HOPE that we can beat this addiction. We just need to take it one day at a time, and if a craving hit's today, just think about tomorrow morning...because tomorrow morning always brings new HOPE!!!!
