FOURTY DAYS!

Lordy, lordy it's been FOURTY!  FOURTY DAYS since I've smoked, that is.  I'm having a difficult time and today has been no exception.  I am so disgusted with myself for still feeling this way after FOURTY DAYS.  My parents, whom both smoked for 50+ years quit about eight years ago,  my mother told me last week that I should be over this by now!!!   Well, I'm not even close!  I wake up and go to bed wanting a cigarette.  I'm the most disgusted with the ten pound weight gain, I've worked hard to lose weight, for what, so that I can just put it back on one pound at a time?  I've slept most of the day away today, as I have fir the last 40 days.  If I'm not sleeping, I'm eating.  I have a hip with severe arthritis, so walking is usually out of the question.  I swear I just don't know if I can do it!  The depression, the weight gain, the lack of desire to do anything....it's just simply unbelievable!  I NEVER would have thought that it would have been so difficult.  FOURTY DAYS, $336.00, 1,223 cigarettes, 18,354.65 mg of tar not inhaled and I'm doubting myself to win this battle.

About the Author
I am a 46 y/o self employed hairdresser. I am a mother to one beautiful 15 y/o daughter, and I have the BEST husband in the world, we were married in 2016. I have two chihuahuas who are a very important part of our family. In my free time I love to cut out and paint wooden yard decor, and as a family we love to camp in our fifth wheel camper trailer. In 2015 I relapsed after 11 years of not smoking, I'm really hoping to put this to rest for life. Not smoking is proving to be quite the challenge for me! I'm most thankful for this community of caring, encouraging and helpful people. I hope I can one day be a help to others.
