Don't give in...Don't go there...the craving will quit whether or not you smoke....and NOW I started counting the days I've smoked. I'm at 8 days...so I'm changing that....

AND I will continue to update this everytime I think about smoking (and when i'm close to the computer)...Christmas for me and my kids is that I will be free again. They hate it, I hate it...THIS IS HORRIBLE!

I would have never thought I would be back here saying all this..and the craziness that goes through your head.

No, I think the disappointment is still there for them. And I don't blame them...I'm disappointed.

Merry Christmas to you!

Quote:
The decision to quit smoking is a major one. It is probably the most important health decision you will make in your life. Major decisions are not made on a whim, although many of us have tried many times. Have you ever gone to bed at night telling yourself that you won’t smoke tomorrow? Or said on a weekend that Monday you’ll quit? Some participants in my classes have told me they say that to themselves every Sunday night. Major decisions usually take time and careful consideration. COPIED FROM FFS



This is me...everyday I told myself this...eveyday I failed but I lasted a little longer eveyday without a smoke. How do I compare this statement against, just quit now before it gets worse.

At first, I thought about working the program again, gives me time to clear my heart...and heard comments to just quit now. That made sense to me...but now I feel like I want to think this out...I don't want to keep getting up evey morning and fail ... then I really have no confidence.

Last time, it was so simple...You are broke...You can't smoke. And that was the truth of it. Now, I'm trying to learn and digg inside myself.

Yet I know all the things I'm feeling...isn't the correct way to be....so that is maddening in itself.

Good for you Tracy! Remember, you only have to get through the next crave! you know you can do that.

By the way, I doubt the kids are as disappointed in your smoking as they are in your continuing to smoke.

You are now officially, free, so stay that way!

Merry Christmas Tracy!

How's it going? When I finally came to a place of acceptance with quitting, the internal struggle seems to disappear. No, not the urges or craves, per se, but the wrestling going back and forth in the mind. Keep going...even if wrestling with breaking free and being quit...one point in time, an acceptance will take hold and it'll be soooo much better!

Hugs!

I'm okay...not quit but okay. It was fine at work but then on the drive home....the car was the hardest part last time too.

I still have the date of Jan 7th but I really wanted it to be sooner. And only I can do that I know.

I was so ashamed that I didn't visit any sites over my day off...that is not a good thing. It was like I had never quit...

Just stinks...I'm a single mom and have conquered so many things in my life...and I just can't get over this.

but I'm going to
