Day 8

[Mon2]

Today was a bad, bad morning for me.  The urge would not go away, I did not smoke.  School starts back tomorrow, so twins  will not be home.  I have cleaned, there is nothing else in the house to do.  It is to cold outside, I can not allow my mind to sit idle and think about the monster that I held onto for 40 years if not longer.  It is time to let go, I just wanted to scream this morning, worst day so far.  As I am sure more of these will come.  I do not look forward to facing them, but with the wonderful people in my life now with this site I shall N.O.P.E.

You MADE it - how proud you must be - as am I!

Do you have a crossword puzzle book, or a jigsaw puzzle, or an adult coloring book and crayons, or a link to a computer game? Can you knit or crochet.? If not, go online and look for a tutorial.  A dishcloth is a fast and easy project on which to learn.  These are all distractions that work if you work at them! 

Tonight you can go to bed with another day WON!

Good for you!

So after I just tell you to try and meditate those long-lasting urges away, please don't just sit idle if that isn't working for you.  The best thing is to keep moving (walking, treadmill, stationary bike, dancing, whatever).  Tomorrow probably won't be as bad.  But if it is, please come back to tell us how you faced up to it and got through another day.  I promise you, it really will get better.  For now, just promise to make it one more day.

jigsaw puzzle, crosswords, word search. coloring books, walks in the mall, rip up shelving paper, scrub grout, redo a kitchen or a room in your house.  just keep busy, busy, busy.  My downfall was always boredom
