1 week until my quit date! I am very excited but that fear of failure is rearing it's ugly head. I feel awaful these days from smoking outside in the NC high heat and humidity-very short of breath. I'm so tired of all the negatives of smoking, $360.00/mo spent between my husband and I.
God and AA have given me the strength I need to quit drinking. He, with the help of EX will give my the strength I need to quit smoking.
I am loving reading the blogs of people fairly new in their quits and are succeeding! Just after a few bad days. From experience, I know it's easier after I get through 5 days. I think about the fact that this summer has flown by. I know, as Dale suggests. The 1st 4 mo. will fly by. Just a little over 4 mo. is Christmas. That time always flies by for me.
We don't smoke in the house so I will not be exposed to my husbands smoking this time. That will help.
I bought some crochet materials to help. I learned to crochet as a teenager from my grandmother. My new hobby for my quit. I'm looking forward to that too. Being constructive instead of destructive.
I know I couldn't do this without you EXer's as much as I know I can't quit drinking without AA so thank all of you so much for being here!
Connie
