I know it is a stop smoking thread but had to share this all the same...smiles

Very humble today as I celebrate 20 years clen from drugs.
May I be blessed, guided and humbled to continue this lifes quest!
As I step in to today, may I always be reminded of yesterdays hardships. And know that this very minute I have a choice to do anything. May I forever remember that lost scared woman who couldn't think. And choose to achieve and help pick others up instead of pull them down.This is my prayer and wish.

Sending out love and light to all who supported my journey and all that will.
Namaste

Last year in a thread I realized I wrote the date wrong..ooops..smiles Today is actually my 20th...must have got excited..grinz

I knew someone who kept a new pack of smokes in their glovebox. For me, having them around would have been too tempting in a moment of frustration/worry/etc., but I understand how it works for many people.

Congrats! I am glad that you shared this with us!

congrats my friend......

it has been 177 days since i smoked a smoke and i've been having a hard time lately, ... wanting one. there's that something inside me that says, ... go on, smoke one. you've worked hard. you deserve it.

i know that's like the "devil" talking to me LOL.

i'm not going to smoke one!

I'm into my 5th day without a cigarette. It's not much but I'm truly trying. :praying:

Way proud of myself today for this moment.

Doin the happy dance today for month 9 marker.


So proud of you all as well. Keep it up!
And thank you for such an incredible support system.

Congratulations Lady Pam , I must admit I cracked but 5 days was a start . Now, I'm so disappointed in myself. But, I know I will try again ...

i dreamed that i smoked last night. i could taste it! ahhh it was good lol. then in the dream, the feelings a cigarette will make happen in your chest, ... tight, congested. awful.

so we get help from all sorts of places, ... even dreams.
