    More Belief! You better Believe! I want to be leaf! Support System

    To win this fight you need to know that it's not an easy road but one you can win.
    If you have a friend you can trust or a gf, bf that is supporting in your journey.
    If your single you can always journal, if you don't like to write you can always write here as well. Maybe you have family or a close person that you can talk to. You don't need to talk to then about using just more of someone that knows the battle your fighting.
    Even the smallest support goes a long way. Just ran into an old co worker, he's been tobacco free now for a year!
    He was in the same shoes as me but chewing tobacco.
    When you quit you can inspire others, they see that its possible. If noone takes the chance to fight fight and keep fighting then who will people look up to.
    Brave people step forward.!!!
    Whats better than doing something for yourself is doing stuff for others.
    Try and help others, even little things go a long way. Stay busy Stay motivated and drop Fap, Porn , Smoking and all the other wasteful habits that we have.

    Struggles Real, Embrace it

    i started my jorney of no PMO and cigarrete at same time , about 4 days ago... i've been smoking for 5 year. this motivated me!thank you!! when u drink how u avoid the strong desire of smoking?
     
  3. When you drink the desire to smoke is strong but to avoid the only thing I found out is to quit drinking as well.
    Lol seriously.
    I used to work at a bar as a cook for 6 years and when you have the key to open the door in the morning to get ready for your day at 7 and there is people asking when your open (we opened at 10 a.m.) most days that is something wrong with that picture , also there was boat loads of sales man and women that would flake out at work. Lie to their boss, spouses and kids they would come in with me through the door and leave about same time as me. 8 hour shift.
    When I drank it was all fun and games but than I saw these people and I thought to myself "what if i end up like that".
    People always like to think they are that special snowflake and an exception to the rule but I know myself that I have an extremly addictive personalality so it was either all or nothing. Non of that have a few beers. All or nothing!
    Thats pretty much how I quit drinking.,saw a lot of peoples lives just go down the drain.

    I know some people look at drinking differently and I don't want to upset anyone because "they like to have a couple with their friends on the weekend in college" I used to have this mentality like nothing wrong with drinking but its gonna be very difficult for someone to quit, every time there is booze, there is always cigarettes or chewing tobacco or other drugs, there is no way around it.

    Once again I am only posting my own experiences and I was abusing all these things so I don't want to tell anyone whats right or wrong for them,thats for them to decide but these are the things that I found out.

    Much love everyone, if anyone has any questions about these things just shoot me a reply and I would be more than happy to give some insight.

    Stay Strong

    Going against the grain.
    We know that the body and mind likes to do whats easier, whats comfortable more fun. As I write this I should be doing my daily reading. This is the kind of thing I am saying. Putting things off.
    People will look down on you for trying to quit, they will encourage you but deep down they want you to fail. The reason is they know that they can't do it so it will validate their belief that it is "to hard" to quit. The other day I had some thoughts about visualization. You need to put in what needs to get done to quit and visualize your success.
    Visualize and keep moving forward, don't listen to your brain at the moment., listen to your heart it knows whats best for you.
    Overall life is short guys and gals.
    One day your fifteen riding your bike to the gas station for candy next your 25 working for a company you hate or have not figured out your talents yet.

    Lets really buckle down this week and do what needs to get done. It's easy to be lazy, lets cherish and make use of the time we have.
    You are worth it!!
