I just started reading it and I love it already!

that first year has it's moments....I was trucking along and at 11 months....I had anxiety and automatically assumed I wanted a cigarette and those obsessive thoughts prompted me to post an SOS. Even at 11 months!! But...that was my last time...and since then...if I do get anxiety I know without a shadow of a doubt that it has nothing to do with quitting smoking. Great job Erik!

Yes!! A new day indeed. Clean canvas....not tobacco stained :)

Ran 2 miles tonight Finally downloaded the book. Gonna read tonight

I knew because when you posted....you kept referring to the cigarette as if it still held so much power over you. You were abstaining from something that tempted you and you acknowledged that as a sacrifice rather than having escaped the clutches of the addiction. As if it was something you were missing. You also knew 2 hours ahead of time that you were going to struggle. Say you will struggle...and you will. Eventually you will cave with an attitude like that. Anybody would. Glad you are back....glad you are doing your homework about nicotine addiction and glad you are asking questions so you can prevent the same thing from happening again. Read...plan your date...and work that sticky quit for good....be done with it. We are here :)

Fantastic Evelyn!!

Great Job!!

Ran 5k this morning. My best time ever. It was more like 4 miles but phone was frozen for the first mile so it didn't record it.

you rock Evelyn!!

hahahahahahaha!! story of my life

Work today....nothing planned for tonight 5k in the morning Babysit my granddaughter tomorrow night (best way to spend a Saturday night. :). ) Sunday no plans in particular. Somewhere in the vacant spots I'll toss in laundry, cleaning, and shopping. Supposed to be beautiful up here in the Northeast. High 70s and sunny. What are your plans?

By not posting daily...I missed all this inspiration. Finished the week with a great cardio workout. Tomorrow 5k

smoking is not an option that was mine...same concept..different words once you start playing around with words like...just one, maybe this wasn't a good time to quit, maybe I am not strong enough, maybe I'm more addicted, I'm tempted to smoke, I want to smoke, I feel shaky....all this negative self talk leaves the option to smoke...take it off the table

Happy Birthday Jess!!

Evelyn---you are a rock star in my book. You've come such a long way. Accepting life on life's terms is the path to serenity. Accepting things we can't change and changing the only person in the world that we can...which is ourselves. Bravo lady!!
