The quote “whether you think you can or you can’t, either way you’ll be right” (cited in the article) is something I have always lived by. It’s probably why I smoked for as long as I did. I remember repeating to myself over and over again that school is too stressful right now to quit, my family life is too chaotic to quit, I need to drive across the country and I can’t go 5,000+ km without a smoke, etc. And, yes I thought I couldn’t quit and I was right.
For the past few days (I cannot believe it’s been already 4!), I have tried to rephrase my thinking, rearrange my habit, and tackle negative thoughts with positive ones. I can quit even if school is stressful, and I can quit when my family life is anything but calm, and I can quit on long travels, I can quit! And, I will be right.
Here’s to another day smoke-free!
