Ciggyfree Blog & Gov Alert

I have had some major issues going on over the last few weeks. But now things are starting to stabilize, even if they are so much different than they used to be. Well, change is the only constant, so we have to adapt.

During this upheaval, I have been sorely tempted at times to go back to smoking. I did not give in to the urges. I know it is a remnant of the old days, a mere memory of treating stress with nicotine. It will not make things easier or help me to cope. It will make me feel worse. So I don’t want to smoke.

Life will happen to us, sometimes at a real fast pace. There will be challenges to our ability to deal with emotions and new situations. I have done a lot of adapting lately, and I am very glad to have gotten through it all without lighting up.

I have had to draw on a source of strength that I never knew I had. It is not so obvious that I even knew it was there before I needed it. But it kept me from smoking when I needed it. That strength expanded to as I needed it to beat the addiction. As much as I needed, when i needed it, and never faltered. That’s certainly never happened before.

I wish i knew where it came from, I could probably make a lot of money selling that secret. I am glad it is there, that’s all I need to know about it. I do no want to smoke, no matter how much I feel like smoking. I am determined to beat this addiction.
