I hear tell blogging is supposed to be good for helping one go through life events, especially when those events are particularly difficult. So here I go.
I want to quit smoking. I'm very motivated to do so, but I want this time to be the last time I have to go through the process. This time I want to do it right. So, to that end, I'm seeing my doctor, I've signed up on the Alberta Quits website, I downloaded the Crush the Crave app on my phone, and I'm blogging.
I intend this blog to be a journal of my experience. A diary of sorts. A way to distract myself from cravings and deal with the emotional upheaval. I do have a support system, but I find that I am reluctant to burden other people with my stuff when they have their own to go through. I'm hoping this will be a way to unburden myself without burdening others. I also hope someone else can take this blog and use it in their own journey to freedom.
I haven't quit yet. I'm still smoking. I went a whole month and then caved when things got tough. I'm so mad at myself!!! This. Won't. Happen. Again.
