Hey Steemians
Today is the day i decided to give up smoking and what a day its been! Iv'e had the shittiest day at work in a long time, not going into detail about it as it angers me lol anyway i kept saying to myself if i can get through today of all days without touching even 1 i can do any day. Iv'e smoked since i was 16 years old which is 12 years and have tried to quit maybe 3 or 4 times now for as long as 9 weeks and have been successful upto the point of going out and drinking socially with friends, See most of my friends smoke and after a few pints i have let my guard down and said i will have 1 whilst i'm out drinking (which is a bad idea) so from today i wont be going out partying or drinking until i know i have kicked this dirty habit.
For me its always the first week that's the hardest to get through so all i have to do is keep telling myself over and over again "its only a week" "its only a week". Which to be fair isn't a long time. It has taken a week for me to get my first author rewards which has come around quite fast so a week should be a breeze, after 1 week i'm still not out of the woods with it i know but that is my goal to get to before i set another.
I would like to ask anyone who is on a similar journey, either quitting smoking or anything else that they mite want to stop doing to join me in this quest to a better, healthier life, and if there are smokers out there who think that a day without a smoke cant be done then i have news for you! It can be done and i'm living proof, with a bit of will power and a strong mindset you can do it day by day. That is all i'm doing - day by day.
I will be posting about this for the foreseeable future to update on how its going.
Anyone in a similar situation please follow me and we CAN do this together!
Have an amazing day guys
