Rebecca R Last Real Smoking Urge 500 days 2018

500 days quit: “When was your last real smoking urge, and how did you beat it?”

The question being asked is when was the last time I had a crave and how did I handle it?

I really don’t think the word “crave” applies anymore and it hasn’t for a very long time!! I do have thoughts of “one” sometimes but I am now easily able to recognize it for what it is….. the ND wanting to come back and control my life again... but these thoughts have no have power over me anymore….and neither does “it”!

I used to crave

I would crawl in a ball

I could not think

I could not do

I dared not feel

I just would just crawl in my ball and scream and cry

For the thing I wanted

I could not have

I wanted it so much

I was certain I did

I thought it was my friend

It was always by my side

I thought it helped me do so many things

But then I quit

And so much changed

It isn’t about quitting

It’s all about gaining

It’s all about living

It’s all about feeling and not being afraid

It is all about doing what I want, when I want

Now I sing and dance and sail

There wasn’t a reason to be afraid

There wasn’t 1 thing it helped me do

I did it

I did it all along

I have tasted freedom now!

I’m in control now!

I am the Captain now!

And I’ll go down with my ship!

Before I give up my quit!

Don't give up! It does get better!

I know there will still be rough waters ahead but we got this!
