Another Day

I am so sorry to see that a few of us lost our quit over the last few days.  I agree at times it is tough and things can seem very over whelming.  Luckily I have been able to stick to this quit by reminding myself how much I hated the beginning and that I do not want to do that again.  It has taken me many quits and many failures to go this long and I am always hopeful and determined that this will be my last attempt.  I only take my quit one hour at a time and I think that has been what has kept me sane this time.  Before I found myself using the never again motto and that just seemed impossible.  This time I just count the hours I've been smoke free.  Every hour is another reason to get to the next hour.  I've made sure I have no cigarettes around the house and I have no cash on hand.  This way if I do want to break down it will be a bit less convenient and I will have to confess to my hubby since I either have to get cash or use a credit card.  Either way, he will know since I'm a terrible liar.  Ha Ha.  Try to laugh everyday and laugh at yourself when those craving hit hard and you look like a crazed animal trying to busy yourself.  I have no idea how any of us gain weight since we can't sit still anymore.  

Have a good evening all and thanks for your kindness and support.

I am nearing 60 years old and have worked me entire life. Now being retired have found smoking to be more of a hassle and I worry about my health. Would love to go back to work, find retirement a bit boring.
