heck week

Not much different than hell week for me. Between this site and really practicing my AA program I have a whole new level of calmness. I think that is helping as much as the NRT's at least with the psychological part. I get on this site first thing in the morning and then AA prayer and meditation. It really helps the rest of my day.

I did miss all of it yesterday though. I just let being busy with life's stuff interfere and I really noticed the difference. I caught up on blogs today though and loved the comments on my blog. I really got a chuckle out of Dale and Puff's pictures. Loved the dragon with the binkie.

One of the things I am trying to practice on a daily basis is to keep expectations low and acceptance high. By doing this I cannot give control to anyone, place, thing or situation to cause me to light a cigarette. (an excuse to light up). Also accepting that all is not going to go the way I want (traffic etc...) I am not getting my feather's ruffled as much. This also gives me a level of peace that I have not experienced before.

I have a job interview on Tues at home depot. I really need to make some extra money for this move coming up so please keep me in your prayers.

Love to all,

Connie
