Just wanted to open a welcoming thread for day 5 !!!  

 

You are doing so good.  And yes, it does stink..... it smells so freaking nasty.  

 

And to think we got enjoyment out of that.  

 

You are more than halfway through your first week !!!!  Do you realize how strong you are ?  

 

A week ago, you couldn't go four hours without one.  Heck, one hour after your last one.... the junkie in you was already plotting your next smoke.... your next round of suicide.  

 

And look at you now.  You don't realize it but your eyes are beginning to see how truly horrid this addiction is........ and you have saved money !!!

 

Keep going..... one day at a time.  

 

I'm SOOOO proud of you.  

Hi Tiff~

WOW, reading what you wrote is like, YES, last Thursday I was on my 'routine' of the time of day I went out to smoke, couldn't wait to get off work to sit on my back porch and smoke and smoke and smoke and relieve the 'stress' of the day!

Ha~ I think smoking made my life more stressful? idk. I just know that so far, I'm alive! My brain is trying to catch up that I'm still breathing~ clean fresh air.

 

Not going to lie. I still am that junkie! I still fight the cravings for JUST ONE! But I have no cigarettes, and refuse to buy ONE pack to have JUST ONE. 

 

So I'm sucking it up.

 

I'm soooo proud of you too. You are my inspiration to keep going and to protect my quit like Sazerac said! I'm going to protect it like a crazed mother bear!   :D

Not going to lie. I still am that junkie! I still fight the cravings for JUST ONE! But I have no cigarettes, and refuse to buy ONE pack to have JUST ONE. 

 

Perfectly normal.  The junkie thoughts are a part of the process, but they are only thoughts.  Those thoughts only have the power we give them; the choice is ours...Always.

 

Just keep doing what you're doing Sandi, you've got this.
