Share your quitting journey
Today was a good day!! Yesterday I was shovelling beautiful composted earth and planting a lot of zinnia's in Dad's garden. It was really great to do something with my dear Dad. We both took rests in between, did I mention he is 90 years old? He did really well, and I realized how very out of shape I am. (due to smoking) This morning I woke up, and my first thought was blah, I am alone!! Then my older sis called me, and asked if she could come for a 2 hour visit. She is very against smokers and doesn't have much empathy for anyone beginning to quit. She has never smoked, but she understands food cravings. We caught up about Dad and Mom, and she cheered me up by coming over. ( we are really close)
We talked about the fact that we always smoked in the house when the kids were growing up. (They never did because they weren't smokers) I said I feel so bad for exposing my kids to all of that back then. My sister is often critical but she said, you just have to forget those days and move on with your life. I don't think I could ever forgive myself if our kids came down with a smoking related disease from second hand smoke. Anyway, my sister is great, and I love her. Wouldn't it be so wonderful, if I could surprise her in a year from now and still be quit???
She has offered me love and acceptance, and for her that's huge. So yeah, yesterday and today were good days!!
Ok, guess I'm motormouthing again.............I don't often do that, lol, except when I'm under stress. I am quit, and going to keep it. How about you?
