    BLOG: I’m Quitting Smoking

    Shane Walters Images 0700

    March 28, 2013 by Shane Walters

    Shane Walters Instagram (ShaneDWalters)I’m quitting smoking and my plan is to use social media for extra support in the painful process. All this week I have been posting a new photo on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Instagram, StumbleUpon and other social media pages to help me reach my hard to reach target of quitting smoking. I plan to continue this photo a day posting process for about two more weeks.

    The story behind this posting process… By the time I reach the last photo I want to post, 3 weeks will have gone by without smoking a single cigarette. They say once you reach that mark it becomes much easier to complete my goal of a smoke free life. I’m hoping to reach that mark and I’m using social media to help even if only a little bit.

    It sounds ridiculous but as a 5 year smoker I’ve tried everything to quit the habit. It dangers not only my own health but the health of people around me that I love, so now I’m officially quitting smoking. I figured I would try a new way. A way of physically seeing how many days I have left (via photos in a folder) until I’m in the clear.

    Even as I write this I have the shaky hand sindrome just because I have written the words smoking or cigarette too many times and now my brain is pinging the word ‘CIGARETTE’ over and over in my head but it’s all good because 3 weeks is near.

    If at any time the daily photos stop before I reach the 3 week mark that means I have return to my bad habits and I have brutally failed at quitting smoking.

    Wish me luck!
