I am realizing that part of relapse could be forgetting how the journey started and what it took just to begin. At times we may not wholeheartly tap into what we learned to get where we are. Yesterday evening I had the desire to smoke a cigarette. May have been from overeating. You know that feeling, belly full want to have a cigarette and just relax after a busy day. I had to divert my directions so I would not be in the convenience store buying cigarettes like in my dream the other night. I eventually just got in the bed and went to sleep, (one of my ways of not having to deal with it).
So I am up very early this morning reading blogs, making comments. But the greatest eye opener is reading my old blogs. The determination in some of them is truly eye opening. So I suggest when you have those times and you really need to pull it together ,read some of you old blogs. It will quickly wake you right up. To the point you will be Scared Straight. I do not want to go back to that. Have smoke free day. I am because I am a non smoker. I do not do that ANYMORE. Thoughts be GONE,,,, I am not doing it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Done. No. Back to Basics. Still smoke free day 103! Yay One day at a time. Thank you EXteam.
P.S. Never thought about it but overeating for me could be a trigger.
