February 7, 20215 yr Ok I know crap happens, but it seems like lately its all at once. Feel like I'm being put to the test like here is some more bad news can ya handle this???? Oh ya and don't smoke.well I'm about at my wits end with it. I realize there is always stuff going to happen.I was up at 5 am and got dressed and actually drove to the gas station to buy cigarettes. Then I'm like what the hell are you doing. It was 1 degrees out side snowy and crappy The insanity of it all. I did turn around and come home without cigarettes. Knowing the bad news was not going turn into good news after I smoked that cigarette. My daily rant for Sunday
February 7, 20215 yr Wow Linda .... You sure tested your strength in your Quit .... Realising having a smoke won't alter anything ...is a good step forward .... You proved to yourself ,just how much you want this quit ... You won that battle ....you should feel very proud of yourself ....
February 7, 20215 yr Yes, well done Linda. It took great will power to turn around and go home without buying smokes. Especially when you were right there. I commend you on a huge step in the right direction. I would have to say this should solidify in your mind that you truly are a non smoker now. Congratulations
February 7, 20215 yr Big WELL DONE for not caving into those horrible stinky cancer sticks, you sure would have felt ten times more stress after smoking them, and they would have tasted like sh*t, not at all like you remember them.

It felt good. Good job on turning that car round. Proud of you.
February 7, 20215 yr HUGE turning point for you Linda, you should be super proud of yourself for realizing smoking would do absolutely nothing to you improve the situation 🤗
February 7, 20215 yr And that is what it is all about! You are getting stronger than that crave. I hope you are celebrating and proud of yourself. Way to go Linda. Keep that beautiful quit going.
