Happy Sunday everyone,
It is a sunny Sunday in Eastern Ontario and I plan to stay inside and get some homework done.
Sending a shout out to my friend Bertram, Nate, and our new friend Elaine.... (((welcome Elaine))))
I am also in the process of reading Allen Carr's The Only Way to Stop Smoking. With my recent relapses, I have to seriously examine my state of mind and thinking about smoking. Obviously, I smoked because I still think there is some kind of benefit I will get in a crisis. THAT IS A LIE! But I have to undue the instinctual thinking that leads me down that path.
Pledging not to smoke today and offering my hand in support of all others who are not smoking or who have a desire to quit.

“Wouldn’t that be an incredibly stupid thing to do? To say ‘I never want to smoke again’, then spend the rest of your life saying ‘I’d love a cigarette.’ That’s what smokers who use the Willpower Method do. No wonder they feel so miserable. They spend the rest of their lives desperately moping for something that they desperately hope they will never have.”
