Stories & experiences

It is not really a life time battle when you whole heartedly love your decision to be a non-smoker. You seem to do so, so why would it be a hardship for long? Look how quickly you got into the exercise and love it. I once hated exercise and now I do it even more often than necessary because it does make me feel so good! It is no longer the batter to do it because now I have the motivation and feel the benefits!

We can quit smoking and put it behind us. Yes, it is an addiction and so we dare not tempt fate . Knowing we risk everything for Nothing, WHY would we want to? That is where the learning, knowledge and positive thinking of the mindset come into play.
Mindset or Willpower? I choose the first, hands down.

Heya Happy

What I meant by life long battle is that I have never quit before , so I have to guard against temptation whenever it ever presents itself.

I live with someone who vapes, and there were moments when I was tempted to take a drag.. but she helped me get through it, along with me fighting it

Plus the social aspect of most of our friends being smokers and dining out or heading for a drink leaves me vulnerable

So I will never consider myself healed ... that way I will never let my guard down

BTW
You’re right about this work out thing.. it’s fantastic !!

Being free of the fear of slipping is also fantastic! Why wait for something to happen that won't? Why not choose to put it behind you? KNOW that you don't want to go back . Join us here to remind you why you quit and to help others in turn. There comes a time when you Know the battle is won!

I know I’ve won the battle. But always on guests as a good lil soldier
