That's the way!! Keep climbing, you are doing great!! Here are a couple of giant helium filled balloons. Hopefully that will lighten the load a bit. :)

I'm nearly at 4 months quit, and there is no way that I want to go back to smoking but I could sure as hell have one today. The Quit Smoking Journey is a lot of walking slowly up hill and then speed racing down the otherside with the wind blowing in your face, Going up and down these hills on a daily basis becomes part of our life, we get used to it, Then all of a sudden you come to the bottom of a mountain, looking up all we can see are pitfalls, crevices hidden from us, but there waiting to open beneath us and let us fall, ice and dark clouds, do you want to climb this mountain it looks impossible, how can we do it alone, its scary, maybe we should turn back, but then we stop for a minute and take a step back................we realise that nothing is impossible, we have the tools to climb this mountain, we have help from others to push onward, we can overcome the pitfalls, we can climb over the crevices with our tools, we will not fall, the ice we can avoid and the dark clouds will go and the sun will hopefully shine, As I said there is no way that I want to go back to smoking but I sure as hell could have one today, I'm at the bottom of the mountain, but I have the tools and the friends to push forward. So I took a step back and I started to climb..................

I love balloons!! Two kids later, I'm not lovin leakages so much haha. Onwards and upwards!! :)

You're doing so great Jackie! Keep climbing!!

It is awesome, and I will throw you a rope and pull with all my might!!

Marti jeez lady you got some shove on you lol, Ill check for any pitfalsl and keep you covered no problem, I'm keeping my eyes on the climbers higher up looks pretty awesome way up there, would say race you but im at that age....leakages you know ....xx

Jackie I offer you my "virtual shove" up that mountain - up ya go!! I'm right behind you and watching how you climb to see where I need to watch out!! There should be some in front of you, watch them and carefully place one foot in front of the other. We'll be cool and the view will be frikkin awesome. xx

Keep going!

Jackie, I think this is when we know we have a strong quit - when you can see a crave for what it is and get past it.

I'm up and down like a yoyo. The energy is off the scale and I've been to caught up to even look what's going on. You know the problem with quitting smoking...you think everything is about not smoking!! How frikkin annoying that my life has been entering a place that feels much like the toilet, when part of whatI do is understanding how energy influences us - and I missed it. Utter divvy! First time I've written on my web page since I quit :) I may be more emotional minus cigs but I control more of my destiny then I did before :) Today I have written up the full moon energy and done reiki on bathsalts that I sell. Not ya normal persons Tuesday haha. I do find this hard. I wish I had some easy peasy, I just have this needs to be done and if this is what it takes then so be it.... but I love that I wrote....and that I can help people sometimes for no reason, other than it feels right. In case anyone else likes energy work, here is my writing from tonight: Scorpio full moon May 14th 2014 Scorpio energy is not for the feint hearted. Do or die time my friends! We want to get to the heart of our most painful situation, we want to understand the darker side of everything – you cannot bring light without acknowledging the dark! Bring passion, TRUTH, mysteries of life, a somewhat brutal need to own the situation. Scorpio is strong, I love this energy when I work with it. If I go against it all hell breaks loose though. The Full Moon is playing OK with Saturn. Saturn is the karma/father of the zodiac. We want an ending here, not a brutal experience. Your lessons should be learned, the answers should be clear. In essence you should realize that it’s ok to be yourself, that there’s power in that and right or wrong does not come into your relationships or life choices. Somewhere there is a big bang. Then it should settle enough for us to heal it. Scorpio’s are master healers in my humble opinion, not that it’s ever in their write ups. Pain for no purpose is wasted. Understanding and acknowledging a painful situation is the way to heal it and make it better, often it’s a growth pattern for our life journey. Nobody likes a lesson right…but how else are we going to learn who we are, what we want, what we NEED to be whole. It sounds dramatic doesn’t it, lol, it’s Scorpio – of course it’s dramatic!! Powerful energy circulates and gives us the opportunities that lighter signs don’t. You have the connected Taurus energy on the sun side, bringing a keep us grounded, practical vibe. We are not going to use this energy to dive into the abyss…but maybe we can take a peek into it! We will learn, we will grow and life is better with understanding of all sides of the story. Happy full moon in Scorpio! Love and light. xx

((Hugs)) If beating ourselves up was an effective way to change a thought/feeling/behavior.....it would have worked a long time ago. You didn't smoke today. So you win! :)
