I read this on another board and thought it was so wonderful that I wanted to share it with all of you. And it may help!
Quote:
God grant me the Patience to let the smokefree process work.
Help me keep in mind the length of time I smoked.
Help me understand that I won't become smokefree overnight.
Or even in a week, two weeks, three weeks.
Help me understand each of us is different and that becoming smokefree will take as long as it takes for me, just as it does for the next person.
Help to realize the futility of compareing myself to others in the process.
It takes what it takes--for them, for me.
Help me to a greater acceptence that I'm exactely where I am supposed to be in the process, whether it is the first day, the 100th day, the 1,000th day.
Calm my spirit, allay my fears, remove the negativity and doubt from my life. Open my eyes and my heart as my smokefree process continues so that, with gratitude, I may be of service to others in their process.
God bless us all on our smokefree journeys.  |
That just about says it all, doesn't it?
Shalom!
