New found Discipline - 1st Month


Happy 1st Monthsary to me and my new found Glory.

A month ago, I decided to quit smoking.
When I bought what I thought would be my last stick, the vendor didn’t have anything other than a Fortune cigarette!
What can I do? The urge at that time was strong…So I bought one, smoked it and then a voice inside my head screamed,
Noooooo!!! It shouldn’t end this way.
Fortune?! Fortune?! Are you serious? There’s nothing fortunate about a fortune cigarette!

And thus my short yet felt so long journey to find a Red Marlboro stick began.
To make the long story short, I found one.
Smoked it and told myself this will be the end of this unhealthy habit.

I gave my word that day and kept it til now.
How did I manage to stop or divert the urge?

Two things.
      1)       Mentos candy or iCool Gum
      2)       More work

Not exactly the ideal thing…but then again what is?
The important thing is, it’s working for me.
I know I’m taking in more sugar but at the same time, I know/feel that I’m becoming much much more productive with my time.



That’s it for this month’s update.

If you’ve went through the same stage as I did, please feel free to share!
I look forward to reading your story/comments and maybe also learn something new.


Cheers,
Sean
