Very Happy Hi All,

I am so very proud of myself tonight for calmly standing my ground by phone with my hot headed brother out of state. He basically wanted to sound off with me about what he didn't like about me and I stood up for myself which in the past I didn't. I guess I am starting to learn to stand up for myself now that I am having to learn to deal with everything without a cigarette. I feel so alive...!!!

Blessings,

Very Happy Thanks Kerry,

I think some of other great things about quitting, is all the other neat things we learn or do for ourselves that we didn't before. BTW, you are doing great..!!

Blessings,

Congrats, Barbara!

I read somewhere on the internet the other day a statement about how smoking takes away your self worth. Boy did that hit me between the eyes. My life has gotten better every single second since I quit and now I realize how much of my self esteem I had handed over to addiction.

Glad you are standing-up for yourself! Cool

Barbara, you're fantastic! Just a few months ago you would have let your brother make you feel like dirt. Now you're defending yourself. How great is that? Rolling Eyes

Very Happy Thanks all,

I am beginning to see how much I use to hand over my self worth to my addiction. I am still in the learning process and at times it gets rough. But I have faith like Kevin always says, it will all eventually balance out.

Blessings,
