hi Whatifuwr2....I smoked very heavily for 6 years and then decided that I did not want this anymore
firstly, I smoked cigarettes with the least amount of nicotine...working helped as could not smoke in the office, then I painted the house inside and out, also took on an intensive exercise routine by myself, stopped having alcohol as this was when I wanted a cigarette
and after weeks knew this was the right decision
exercise and keeping myself totally busy helped to kick the habit
my self-talk was the winning factor
it was up to me and only ME and I knew this.....and I succeeded
RE: Solitary
yes and no...I do like me time to think, reflect and just be alone
I also like times being with other/s
and sometimes I really juggle the above, as not all about me
I think knowing that I love others and they love me
knowing that I respect others and they respect me
knowing that I welcome and enjoy time with others and they feel the same way
and we all accept that we are there for each other......no matter what...whether we are together or not
I say this for my family, relatives, friends, and the people I have just met or will meet.....
life is an adventure, enjoy the ride, every twist and turn...what we give is what we get
