Cold Turkey

I've never attempted to stop smoking up until April the 2nd, today. I must admit, it's not an easy feet especially if i've been smoking for more than thirteen years now. I Had withdrawal in the first few hours and just had to get my fix.

I'm guessing it probably sounds ridiculuous to people who can easily stop or have never been addicted to cigarettes. So Today was a struggle, and i gave in. Nothing wrong there... it's only a test to myself that this has been an excuse of mine to get out of responsibility. Say when i;m stressed or confronted by something i can easily say i'm going out for a cigarette break. Which i realize is my way of procrastnating and not taking responsibility for the things i need to handle in my life.. It has become an excuse, an escape and a way to stall.

Funny thing is i see myself being like that in a lot of areas in my life in a macro level. When Responsibility is presented to me in a way i didnt expect it to be, or even when i feel i don't know how to handle a situation i bail., i give up, i back off...

Gi Joe says" and knowing is half the battle"... Stepping into action and actually living my life to my responsibilities is an easy thing. ...know than i know what half the battle is... as compared to before i never tried, therefore never reallly knew what it takes... hope this post would make a contribution to smokers. You're not alone
