SMOKERS... LETS KICK the HABIT!!

Ms. Meander · 05-31-2011, 06:41 AM

Holiday weekends are filled with temptation and opportunity.

I admit, I succumbed. Only a little bit, and I don't consider my efforts ruined. I am right back on track this morning.

I really didn't want to come here and share this but I'd rather be honest and shame-faced, then dishonestly accept kudos I don't quite deserve.

SO - fresh start this morning. All is well. So far, so good. I hope everyone else fared the weekend better than I!

We all have moments ~ I think it's great you are back here and getting back on track. Don't beat yourself UP!

Almost six weeks - but... Does not mean I am not tempted every single moment, especially when I get in my car -- I used to smoke in it and I can still smell it. Blah

I am pretty sore..still. BUT they never would have done the surgery had I been smoking - So, my breasts are healing beautifully and so are my lungs.

Feels GOOD!

You sound like you are doing great.

I have been ten minutes from buying a pack for the last week...this so major freaking sucks...someone said maybe its my cycle interfering with my psyche ...UGH..

Honesty...I wanna scream and have a tantrum...I wanna cry i think i already did this morning. This will pass though it always does.

Honesty....I refuse to break...im stubborn that way...besides i don't like the flippen withdrawals they suck big time..

I know this is easier than im making it sound..and i love and adore those that have allowed me my tantrums and fits..

Honesty....I want someone to hold my hand through this..is that so bad?

You keep being stubborn gaea. You're doing brilliantly. I'm pleased to hear that folks are supporting you and allowing you your tantrums. No, I don't believe it is wrong to want someone to hold your hand, I wish I could do just that for you.

Keep the faith, you can do it!

Well, I think you deserve kudos for coming in here and being honest about it. But, just like you said, back on track!

No, not at all. It is normal.

Incubus has it correct...you are on the hump right now....you will get over to the other side. Keep fighting!
