Feeling Proud</h1> <article> <h1>Feeling Proud</h1> <p>Wed, 09 Jan 2019 18:47:00 +0000</p> <p> I am feeling very proud that I've started the new year as a non-smoker. This is my longest quit ever and I look forward to the additional days, weeks, months and eventual years of success. Even though I get a craving now and then, I am able to hold strong in my determination to have Not One Puff Ever (NOPE). </p> <p> </p> <p> Thank you to Quit Train and all the other quitters who help me get off to a strong, successful quit. </p> <p> </p> <p> Happy, successful New Year to us all! </p> <p> </p> <p> Deanna </p> <p> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Week Two Hurdle Cleared</h1> <p>Mon, 15 Oct 2018 04:01:02 +0000</p> <p> I posted a celebration and mentioned some things I'd lost because I quit smoking, but I also want to mention what I've gained … the QuitTrain Community. Every has been so very supportive and I know that I can come hang out any time I need support or want to be supportive. THANK YOU ALL! </p> <p> </p> <p> I'm celebrating my losses... </p> <p> My last thought before heading home is no longer "do I need to stop for smokes?" </p> <p> I no longer park in the back lot where the smoking area is; I park in the front lot. </p> <p> I don't have to stand in the cold or rain to enjoy a smoke. OR THIS FREAKY WARM WIND!!!! Sorry I still have issues. </p> <p> I don't worry about not spending money so I always have enough for cigarettes. </p> <p> I don't worry about how I smell. </p> <p> The hand sanitizer in my car is for sanitizing--not smellatizing. </p> <p> I don't need to ask where the smoking area is. </p> <p> Travel time no longer includes a smoke on arrival. </p> <p> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Learning</h1> <p>Wed, 03 Oct 2018 20:10:50 +0000</p> <p> Everyone tells me how important it is to increase my quitting education. Today I learned that I have reduced my chance of a heart attack. I wouldn't have believed that last night when it felt like I was having one. It's also good to know my energy levels will start to increase--all I did yesterday (all day) was yawn. I am, however, enjoying the occasional dizziness, but I was recently put on blood pressure meds and should probably get it checked. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Hanging In</h1> <p>Tue, 02 Oct 2018 20:24:57 +0000</p> <p> I'm still hanging on. My biggest challenge so far was morning break--I was so tempted. I spent the time reading the SOS posts. I laughed when I recognized several I had been thinking at that very moment. Now lunch time is almost over and I have QuitTrain and solitaire to thank. </p> </article> <article> <h1>Today Is The Day</h1> <p>Mon, 01 Oct 2018 19:57:27 +0000</p> <p> So proud of me! I haven't had a single cigarette today. </p> <p> </p> </article> </main></body></html>
