Posted: April 23, 2004 8:10 PM Post subject: All the difference |
|
|
Oh my, the weekend that it all comes down to is finally here. Every bit of what I have to do has to happen, now.
So, I just wanted to tell you all that you (and everyone that I miss from FFS like Marli) are the ones that have made all the difference.
Growing crowds gather outside of campus buildings this time of year, puffing away. I hobbled by them today with that -thinking, oh, it's just one. I am so strong that I can have just one.
Then, a light went off, reminding me that there is a community that I've been working with for a long time. That group of folks that go through the same thing every day and have not given up.
Anyway, I'm a little embarrassed, but I didn't smoke .. and it was all of you that made all the difference (once again.) |

Zoey, I am very proud of you. You did not listen to the nicodemon. You did not smoke. You passed yet another test. You keep on blowwing those bubbles. NOT SMOKE! _________________

Gee Zoey,
I'm really glad Howard and I didn't have to come over there. It would've been a long trip for both of us and painful too! Way to go Hon. Keep hanging in there--you're going for the big 8 soon and things will get easier. You're hobbling better, yes? And you'll be healed. It takes time and lots of patience and you are winning. Because you are one awesome woman. The Marvel says so! Woohoo for you dear heart! _________________

I'm so proud of you Zoey! You are strong and you do have a lot of peeps here with support and love. You know, will power you demonstrated today should be rewarded! You do deserve it..even if its an ice cream cone.
What a wonderful example you are...thank you! _________________

Way to go girl.....life goes on in spite of the fact that we have quit smoking....and you know what....sometimes that makes me very P.O.'d
But I guess like it or not we still have to live in a world that allows smokers. It is a tough one to be around a bunch of them though....no doubt about it. And how quick that old addiction starts yelling in our heads. But you won . That is so GREAT...You beat it and you are the VICTOR.
Keep up the great quit. _________________

Way to go Marli! And I LOVE to blow bubbles! I used to need a child around as an excuse to blow some, but now that I'm over 40 I decided I don't give a hang what other people think. ROFL Thar she blows!!!! _________________

Hey Zoey,
Hang in there. Think about how you'll look back on this period from the vantage point of a few months and be soooo glad you didn't lose your quit over something like this. _________________
