Good morning all!!

Day 5 won and I continue to feel better with not smoking and rest. I have to ask God how many more quits to I have in me before even that won't help. I can't kkeep playing Russian Roulette with not only my life but the quality of my life. This has to be my forever quit but I have to do it 1 day or even 1 minute at a time.

My short-term goal is to make it through tomorrow. At bedtime tomorrow night I will have 1 week won. This sounds very doable and 1 week is a huge milestone. How do I accomplish this. #1 has to be staying close to this site with #2 being N.O.P.E. Also a lot of prayer thrown in.

Mornings are always hardest but after about 1-2 more hours, the strong craves really eases up so I'm grateful for that. Triggers are managed by changing up my routine. I am dependent on patches and lozenges right now but I am ok with that until I learn to get through the days without my crutch. I do have a weaning off plan but if it takes me 6 mo. to completely get off everything, I'm ok with that. It's better than inhaling the poison into my lungs.

Take care everyone and have an EXcellent day!
