Where will U C yourself in a year ? Look in the mirror

[Abby]

Where you see yourself a year from now , may be a key to success .  

Do you see yourself as an Ex smoker ? What would that look like , feel like ?

What freedoms would you have that you haven't had because of smoking ? Envision those. See that person in the mirror every morning and don't walk away and forget who you are .

You deserve to be quit , to have that rebirth and new beginning . 

Quitting smoking took years off my life and smoking takes years off our lives . 
There are two sides to every story and every conflict . Smoking has two sides too . What side will you believe ? Will you only hear one side ? The cigarette comes disguised.  Freedom does not . Discern the two when a crave overwhelms you . Are you listening to addiction or to your heart . What's the goal here ? 

What is smoking doing for you ? Write the pros and cons . 

A suggestion : 

Choose a day once a month and write the pros and cons of smoking for six months . Post them on your mirror .  Mark the changes you've noted in yourself every month for the first six months . If you want , do it a year . I'm sure some of the things you thought were good reasons to keep smoking will be moved to the other side . 

If you still feel like smoking makes your life better I will be quite surprised . Come back and tell me . 

Give yourself that . You owe it to yourself to experience a taste of freedom and once you do you will want more . 

You can fight amongst the thorns of addiction that want to suck you in then spit you out or you can be at peace with yourself in a smoke free world .  

 

Look in in the mirror and see that beautiful person you are inside and out .
