Do you have a list of the reasons why you quit smoking...or drinking...or both...or something else? Motivation is the tenuous wherewithal to start something new, keep strong despite the feelings of hopelessness, sadness, and physical changes that your brain says can be alleviated by restarting (relapsing).
I programmed my Easy Quit Smoking apps to continuously feed me little motivation reminders multiple times a day. Here is my list...it was repetitive but it was effective to remind me why I quit.
Being Healthy
Being Smart about my future
Getting my health back
Handling life without vices to blur the pain
Being fit is fun
Best sex ever coming my way!
Being different than I was
Saving beaucoup bucks
Yes, I CAN DO IT!
I’m hopeless as a drinker and smoker
Saving real money
Being a role model to myself and others
My body can become so much more attractive
I could only become great by quitting my vices
Cigarettes and alcohol are the worst influences on my life…good to be done.
Live better, love better, be better
Ava (my cat) loves that I quit drinking and smoking
I am definitely better without alcohol and tobacco
I can only be loved truly by being superb to myself
I cannot be who I want to be with alcohol and tobacco in my life
I can have a beautiful lover if I get my shit together
Living up to my own standards
Being fit is my dream come true
Challenges are my favorite, now I need to meet my own head on
Sobriety is my finest mentality
A new job awaits me
FUCK the narcissism of drinking and smoking
I’m HANDSOME without alcohol and cigarettes
Being loved as the wonderful man that I am
FUCK yeah, I am becoming really great…really fucking great!!!!
Throughout my life, alcohol and cigarettes defined me…NO LONGER!!!
Lovely days without alcohol and tobacco
