Just stopped by to encourage . . .

[woman.at.the.well]

those who are thinking of quitting, in the process of quitting, or are like myself and quit not too awfully long ago (one year ago Oct. 25th, 2004).

You can do! You can do it! You can do!

I gained 30 lbs but I still feel so much better spiritually, mentally, and have managed to save over $1400 by not buying cigarettes!!!

I won't say it wasn't hard and that I don't think about them anymore but I know I'm doing the right thing and that's what keeps me going! The cravings do get much easier to deal with. So keep on keepin on! Don't give up! You CAN and will do it.

Just keep saying to yourself, "I am a non-smoker," and eventually it will sink in and come true. It's good positive information and a good prophecy over yourself!

That's great! I'm only 14 and have never smoked before, but I know quite a lot of people who smoke (especially in the year below me) and have done for years. Congratulations! I have heard so many people saying how hard it is to give up...

Congratulations
My dad hasn't smoked for two weeks yesterday so I'm really proud, BUT now he's eating mint sweets like crazy! lol

 

[woman.at.the.well]

awesome! Thank you for the kind words and for encouraging others to quit as well. You guys rock.

You can do it! You can do it! You can do it! Just like The Little Engine That Could. Come on now! Say it, "I'm a non-smoker, I'm going to quit smoking," etc etc etc!

God bless those quitting, thinking about quitting, and those who quit!

to quit :0) that's what our lungs look like when we smoke. This is a picture of a lung with emphysema caused by smoking. How is that for encouragement???

I must admit we have ads like that over here and I have always tried to ignore them until recently - I guess I just need to always remind myself why I quit! It is actually quit awful that we choose to do it to ourselves but I guee because we can't see the damage we don't think it is real ... I guess that can be said about a lot of things we do and say - we can't see the damage it does to us (and others) so we don't change it.
God bless, Evie

That is for sure Evie. Great post, thank you for writing it! God bless you!

sorry about the last gross post but I think everyone knows I did it out of love and concern.

But on the upside did you know if you quit smoking you will:

1) feel better
2) look better
3) breath easier
4) smell better

and most of all . . . make our Great Big Wonderful God very very proud and happy? It's true!

God bless those who have quitting, those who are thinking of quitting, and those who are not quite ready to quit yet.
