Day 744
In the earlier days of my quit I was working through my triggers. A trigger is an event that causes a crave---some big, some small. Finding out what causes a crave is important to your quit, but finding WHY that event is a trigger is much more important.
I have found that my addiction was wrapped up in fear and anxiety and my addiction was its cover. It was my way to hide from my fears and anxiety.
The real truth is that the fear and anxiety is myth in the first place. I know this now, but in the early days this was not clear.
Your job is simple but painful. #1 Make your promise and Focus on your quit by embracing this program 100% #2 Find out WHY each trigger is causing a crave.
Here is the hope---once you go through physical withdrawal (which takes an amazingly short time--4 days) then you must face each demon individually--each fear ---each anxiety. It will be very hard at first, but then you begin to realize that it is all smoke and mirrors! The fears and anxiety are myth when the nicotine is removed. Then you find out something about yourself----you are WORTH something!
Keep THE QUIT
