No Smoking!
by Kyle on Jun.13, 2009, under General
A week and a half now, I’ve gone without a cigarette completely. Life is changing so rapidly for me as of late. With new ideas, money, career, dating and friends.
It’s been a blast so far. And the right people are in my life. The other know they aren’t for a reason, and I make it very apparent they are not welcome. Forgive my bluntness.
My most significant change has been quitting smoking. I was on my last pack at the office, and I just decided no more purchases. I would not smoke ever again. I finished the pack, with help from others, and left for Walgreens. I purchased one pack only, to keep the mental condition of panic at bay that I would not have anything in my possession. I purchased a box of nicotine gum, as an aid to curb the cravings and went home.
Since that day I’ve been extremely strong. Even when the urges return, I pop a piece of gum, and they vanish. Life smells better. Life is better. I’ve been jogging with Cheyenne on a nightly basis, working out, eating better, and in general living better.
Cigarettes now smell nasty, and since my taste buds have returns as well as my general senses (ALREADY), I have no desire to pick up a single cigarette.
One thing many thing is crazy, but works for me, is not changing anything else in my life.
I still drink coffee, I still drink when I go out whether wine or pints, I still sit on the back patio and hang out with Cheyenne, I am associated with people who smoke and it doesn’t kill me, I tempt myself and even carry that pack of smokes in my car at all times. It’s there..for me to fall off the wagon. However, my mental strength (not to brag) is astoundingly strong. When I decide something..I do it. Regardless of anyone Else’s input.
Although, I have to thank one person in particular for being there 24/7, even when she wasn’t needed. The one person in my life who is my outside conscious. Thank you Ashlyn!
