well today was an awesome day i felt so strong and stuck to my plan. i did falter once i got off work but i think a small stumble in the road to being smoke free is ok. i think you have to be honest with yourself. cold turkey is not for the faint of heart. i also feel that having the self control to put off having a cigarette when its readily available is also a good step to be proud of. but i will say having the word on your mind really does help. i have been praying all day once i felt weak. yet keeping my mind occupied with other things also helps. i also got some sunflower seeds to help with the craving when im bored. i stood around my coworkers who all smoke and didn't have the urge to smoke with them or even be a part of it, its funny how usually i smoke by myself at work since i get their earlier then most people but today everyone seem to be smoking.
so my new routine consist of working out once i get off work. i did yoga today to help my back ache from work and i believe it helped. it is something new that i can get into and can keep me in shape. ive been told exercising is the best way to break a habit. im am super ready for tomorrow to see what the new quote will be.
the quote for today will be
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
i picked this quote because i am having so much troubles in my heart and mind lately. i need to be reminded that overcoming the world can be done. just cause we live in this world does not mean we have to be of the world. i need peace in my life right now and i need the lord to help with my temptaions not only of my habits but of the flesh.
