went to sleep last night feeling like I would get up today and go get cigarettes. woke with the same feeling.     still on the train.  almost late afternoon.

 

playing the mind games outsmarting myself....

you know you smoke...     yeah, but it's mom's birthday and she is so happy you quit.   you can smoke tomorrow....      nope     nope   nope      think again, get right with yourself, call an ally. post an sos    Do it!!!

 

sister's life derailing amidst the now normal pandemonium and I am not there to support her.    though being in the smoker's zone would be suicide for me and my quit right now.   still wish I could hold her and hug her and walk with her while her heart breaks and begins to heal.  arrghhh...

 

grateful for ...

BEing FREE from nicotine slavery - extra heaping portion of gratitude for Quit Train & the conductors, riders and engineers

relationships that are there ... through all the trials, abuses, healing, growth...loving in the ways we know, where we are

learning and choices in/of love and light

time spent with those dear to my heart ... and the memories of those times

humor and lightness of heart

healthcare professionals and their willingness to show up and do what needs doing....holding hands, pallitive care, BEing WITH people, and thinking outside the boxes to create something from nothing

geese returning, sand hill cranes, too and the spring song of the cardinals ... found my copy of  A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold and renewed my joy of this treasure

belief that things , people,  and beliefs are changeable

cognitive, physical and spiritual functioning ... at least I think they're functioning, I could be off on this

my marvelous man... steady and true...all I could ever desire...thank you

 

 

 

I hope I dance                                                                                                                                            OIP.mOgbyk3TyjJ-Do_M-2dXDwHaCv?w=300&h=1

You ARE dancing, Darcy.

 

Do not be afraid of triggers or craves, they are just old patterns.  They have NO power.

Remember, A Crave Is Not A Command.

 

Keep yourself free minute by minute if needed.  You are dancing.

 

Things will get easier, please believe us.  If they didn't nobody would quit.

Soon, the edges will be softened and you will have a new confidence in your beautiful dance.

Each NOPE gets you stronger by the minute/hour/day Darcy and soon enough you'll be saying wow, that wasn't so hard after all 😊

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
