I am so disappointed

Bebop,

Sounds like you're doing well. This is great! Keep it up. You can do this!

notz

thanks notz. I am trying really hard. it is getting a little easier most times.

Since you're in GA, I can't help but notice the possible Tech connection...be, bee.
True?

notz

oh no nothing to do with tech at all! I am not a sports fan. lol but yes I am in Ga.

(((((((( be ))))))))))

I'm so proud of you hon!!! You are doing great. Now here's a suggestion for those times that hit you and you need something to do. If you are able, now would be a great time to get all your clothing and start washing it (even if it's clean) because it smells like smoke! It will help clean up the odor in your closet and your dressers and help your bedroom smell better too! Just to put on clothing that doesn't smell of smoke is an awesome feeling


sabby

yes, keep up the good work!!!

I quit about 5 years ago and have been happy with that decision ever since, and I smoked a long time also.

I started with the patch, then they changed the patches adhesive, and I was getting irritated... but it did help reduce the nicotine for the withdrawl part.

The rest was pure decision. I picked the date. That was that!

Slipped one cigarette - a few drags 2 years ago - in Vegas, lol, but I grubbed it - which I never did in my life, and knew I was walking away from it... actually, I did not even enjoy it. Nope, it tasted yucky, lol.

So, that's my story, Hope you feel that you can do it. You are strong.
Heck, you were strong enough to smoke that much and live, you are strong enough to not smoke, and really start living, right?

No more out-of- breath?
No more smelly clothes?
No more smelly breath and hair?
No more distractions to go and smoke?
No more coughs?
No more feeling funny that you do smoke in todays world?
No more health issues from smoking?

Yup.. sounds good huh...

Just a few points to keep you going..lol.

Go get that surgery and you will be healthier, happier, and untimately, funnier!

Peace and Love,
Night
xo

you know it hon! thanks for the encouragement!

Glad to see that you are doing so well, Be. Keep up the good work.

well I kind of fell off the wagon with it but not too bad. am back on track now though. although tonight I want one really bad. *sigh*

It's okay, you're just another step closer to when you do STOP!!! It's tough to quit at any time but especially right smack in the middle of high holiday time. Assess what happened, gain insight and make strategy. You can do it!

notz

thanks hon. yeah I know what happened. it stinks too! but I am working the plan again. I eased up on my ritual and boom! so now I know I have to be rigid with it. again thanks hon

you all would be so proud of me! I smoked again over the weekend. ok that is not to be proud of. I have let some family stress get the best of me. so today I really set my mind to it and haven't smoked again all day. and this with a brand new pack of cigs sitting beside me! those that know me know that is impossible for me...or was! I am proud of me!

Awwwwwww (((((((((((( bebop ))))))))))))))))

How wonderful for you!!! That's fabulous.....and with each step taken backwards the effort forwards becomes stronger and stronger.....you go girl!!!


sabby

thanks honey! I really am trying hard! waaaaaaaaaaaa

((((((((((((((((( bebop )))))))))))))))))
