Have a safe and fun holiday weekend

Many have a long weekend ahead of them.  Being self-employed I don't have weekends.  I am at the beck and call of others.  I could say no, but then I lose business.  I'm okay with that.  I've been doing this for over 20 years.

 

Holidays are the times when people lose their quit.  It's either an emotional time for them or just a reminder of a gathering where they just smoked and drank all day.  Fourth of July was never a big thing for me now that my children are grown and they have their families and other things to do.  It was just basically every other year going over to the in-laws' house and start drinking at 9:00 a.m. until whenever.  Considering the drunk driving laws now, I wouldn't even think about doing that.  So everybody be conscious and responsible this weekend.

 

I've tried writing blogs for the last 4 days and have deleted them every time.  I'm in my funk stage again.  It's not a sadness.  it's not anxiety.  It's just leave me alone.  I simply don't want to deal with you today.  Think instead of sitting on the couch mindlessly watching goofy shows on TV, like Dr. Phil and the Housewives of wherever they are this week, I think I'll do some work in the backyard.  Get some physical activity in and kick back and enjoy the sunshine and the day.  Have an attitude adjustment !!!

Never be afraid or embarrassed about your "smoking thoughts" while quitting, they're there to remind us how strong we truly can be. Always remember, you will always WANT to smoke, but you have to CHOOSE not to. We can't break the ties that bind us without first changing the cycle that created it.
