It's not ever the quit...(RP)

This is a repost I definitely needed to see and let sink in for the last week or so. My junky mind is trying to blame every little thing on the fact I quit smoking. That's a lie. I keep reminding myself that it is because I smoked for 18 years that certain things are happening. This repost hits the nail on the head!

When you quit, you are going to have symptoms. You might....

-have bad gas

-get headaches

-get stomach cramps

-lose all focus

-get discombobulated

-forget things

-have dry mouth

-get little mouth sores

-get a sore throat

-develop a cough

-start coughing up dark gunk

-feel weak and tired

-feel anxiety

-etc.

This is NOT from "quitting" smoking. 

THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE SMOKING. Smoking caused the pain and agony you are going through.

"Not Smoking" does not cause people discomfort, folks. Ask a non smoker...."does not smoking give you a headache?" "The last time you didn't smoke, did not smoking make you tired?" :-)

Nicotine and the hundreds of chemicals are what CAUSE all your agony. The process of getting them OUT of your system isn't pleasant. But the GOOD NEWS is that if you do NOT take one SINGLE puff, this process is a ONE TIME thing. You never have to go through this ever again, and then you can enjoy "not smoking" like the rest of the world.

And it's even way cooler than you can imagine it is.

After smoking 32 years, I just didn't know. It's fan-freaking-tastic. NOT smoking causes happiness. Smoking causes all this crud you're going through.

Maintain the proper perspective and you'll love getting that toxic sludge and crud OUT of your system, even though it's not comfortable.

Just don't blame the quit. Please blame the smoking; that's the cause here!
