When I first started this blog, I made a promise to myself to be real and authentic.
I was not going to be afraid of speaking the truth and sharing my real opinions without all the sugar coating.
Because what’s the point of having your own blog when you’re just going to conform or use AI writing tools or only saying certain things to get that click?
So here we go!
I used to be a smoker for 19 years of my life and honestly, there was period of time where I actually really enjoyed smoking.
Now, I’m fully aware that there is practically NO positives to smoking cigarettes but as someone who suffered from substance abuse, smoking went hand-in-hand.
So when it came time to quit smoking, I struggled SO HARD.
Because this habit has been HARDWIRED into my brain physically, emotionally and psychologically.
It was a part of my identity.

8 Recovery Quotes Printable Bookmarks Pastel Smoke Theme (FREE Coloring Sheets)
I tried quitting so many times, I lost count.
I said “last one” to myself probably thousands of times and still failed.
So how did I quit smoking?
I got pregnant! Hallelujah!! If it wasn’t for that, I probably would still be smoking.
Now, I’ll be really honest, quitting ANYTHING is a lifelong journey.
I still think about smoking from time to time and sometimes when I’m frustrated I feel an urge to go and buy a pack of cigarettes.
BUT, let me tell you, will power gets stronger every single time you overcome it.
So it does get easier.
As you overcome and overcome and overcome, you become someone else.

Being a smoker was a part of my identity and that’s how I saw myself and how other people saw me.
There is still something nostalgic about smoking because it was who I was for so long.
So many of my memories and experiences involved smoking, the good times and the bad.
During my younger more adventurous days, I travelled to many places around the world, most of the time, alone.
During those adventurous trips, I met a lot of very interesting people while I was outside having a cigarette.
So in a way, I do kind of miss smoking sometimes.
Not because of the actual nicotine itself but because of the memories and experiences it reminds me of.
However, I’m very glad and proud of myself that I quit smoking successfully because in the end, it’s no good for you or anyone anyway.

If you’re a smoker trying to quit, I’m rooting for you!
The main key to quitting anything is changing your identity.
Shedding away who you used to be and creating a new you.
With new habits, new rituals and a new lifestyle.
Remember your WHY.
Having BIG REASONS is one thing that can really push you to make a change.
Every time to try quitting, you’re getting closer and closer to winning.
So don’t give up!
