September 26, 201411 yr So bloody proud of myself right now, went out for round 2 of my best friends 40th not only did I not smoke I didn't drink either so no hangover for me. And didn't even take a steak knife home from Miller and carter lol. Such a good girl :-) oh just to add I was the only person not drinking and there was about 20 of us out :-)
September 26, 201411 yr Good on you Laura!! Do you normally go thieving for nights out though lol. Now you've proved you can do it without smoking, the next time will be a bit easier. It's the victories that give us the strength to carry the quit forward. x
September 26, 201411 yr Author Haha just kidding I love there steak knifes I definitely want one. Only got one more 40th to go this year and that's my brother in laws but I have volenteered to take the kiddies home from party so all good :-)
September 27, 201411 yr Great job Laura! That is how it is done!! I, too am a clepto of steakhouse knives.... shhhhh
September 27, 201411 yr Well done, Laura!! You will able to buy fancy steak knives with all the money you are saving!!
September 27, 201411 yr Congratulations Laura! It´s really hard for me to go out without smoking, at least now. Awesome job!
September 27, 201411 yr Love it Laura, check you out, fantastic stuff, Ps the only downside to not drinking is that if you were drunk you would have woke this morning with lots of new steak knives!!!
September 27, 201411 yr Well done you Laura....you are doing brilliant......so in control.....well almost ,your tea leaf tendencys are next l.ol....
September 27, 201411 yr Author I have had a really bad day compared to how I felt last night. I'm tired of working full time and being a full time house wife it's exhausting then I go out to try cheer myself up to losing a pair of shoes I had just brought my daughter to having a full blown panic attack in town due to winding myself up so much. Not coping at all
September 27, 201411 yr Rough day Laura. Sorry. Imagine how much worse it would be with a lungful of stinking poisonous chemicals. Nice deep breaths, quiet yourself. You are making a massive, life changing adjustment to your life. WELL DONE. You will still have crap days - but many more good days. Stick with it Laura, you can absolutely do this.
September 27, 201411 yr Hi Laura , Sorry you have had a bad day....we had bad days when we smoked too..... Your feeling a bit edgy at the moment ....your crutch is not there.... Good deep breaths .... Tomorrow will be better....
September 29, 201411 yr ummmmmm.... congrats and I'm sorry??? Not really sure which way this thread is going? I am a confused man... please hold me.
September 29, 201411 yr Emotional highs and lows are a part of this early journey, please rest assured this dies down later so you only have to go through it now and get it done. Cry, scream, breathe deep. You are healing on every level and healing isn't always easy, but it is always worth it. Be kind and gentle to yourself for a while. Who cares if the house is a bit dirtier, sometimes a gel just needs a bubble bath or a good cry or to chat to a friend or post to us. No matter what you can do this and I hope today is more positive anyway. xx
