Not always busy

I'm slow this morning, wish I had bright eyes like this little girl has. AW another cup of coffee should do the trick! I must say that a lot of my triggers have up and vanished, but craving still continues to be a nuisance. Getting busy helps, but there are times I just don't feel up to being busy, so I really have to fight during that time. I seem to be making it ok, with 17 days now. I sit on my back porch with my coffee which was once a trigger, but I just don't allow that to disturb my quit. We get so much rain here in WA and I do enjoy sitting outside watching and listening. I am using the patch and the other day my doctor gave me some gum to help during those nasty craves when I don't feel like being busy. It is working for me so that is the regimen I will keep. I need and want this quit to be successful and I'm doing it one day at a time. Wishing you all a super smoke free day.

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. I am a 62 year old suffering with moderate COPD. I have relapsed several times from my quit, but I will keep trying till I get it right! "Your mind controls your quit but you control your mind. Don't let your emotions spoil your quit!" Don't allow a stumble to be the end of the journey. The difference between a good day and a bad day is attitude!
