A new Season !!!

[Doreensfree]

To get yourself to the Fabulous Lido Deck...you have to go through 4 Seasons....each bringing tough challenges ...

It's Autumn.... The dark nights have drawn in...it's getting colder ..our friends across the pond have Thank Givings ....

Us Brits have to wait for Xmas for our Turkey ...unless I receive some in the post...

Last Autumn ...you were smoking ...if your a newbie...so ..what's the point ...my point is ...

Don't let your guard down ...don't let anything spoil your quit...

When it comes around next year ..you will be much stronger..and have had your Lido Party...and us old Phartes love a party...

So we need you all to make sure you get there...

During the first year there are a plethora of 'seasonal' triggers.

Autumn/Winter may include family 'togetherness' which is sometimes not very 'together'

and triggers an urge to smoke.

These emotional responses are normal. Some of our families are a piece of work, for sure.

Keep in mind H A  L T.

Are you Hungry- Angry (emotional)-Lonesome (bored, fed-up lol)-Tired-Stressed out ?

Do you just need a break ?

Step outside and take a few clear clean breaths.

Center yourself.

Congratulate yourself on quitting smoking.

Give yourself a reward for keeping it together. 

You quit smoking !

Celebrate your freedom every day.

The season changes affect everyone differently so be on the look out for those dark thoughts...when they start creeping in cast them out immediately because they do not deserve your time!

Be happy you are not out in the cold tryimg to find the one spot the wind isn't blowing, freezing off you butts and toes!
