Day 5 = Lots of urges

Today has been filled with urges. I have coasted through this week, Week 1. I decided that I am not a smoker so I know I will get through this day and the next. I will beat this battle one urge at a time. This is the first day I have sat in my house alone without the distraction of kids. I wasn't expecting this inner demon be so loud and annoying today. I won't let it get the best of me. Thanking God for my stubborn attitude toward this journey!  And, I am very grateful for this place.  BecomeAnEX has been a safe haven for me.  It has been the perfect place to vent, support and research.

About the Author
I am from Maryland, born and raised. I have 3 children: 25, 13 & 12. They are my heart and spending as many healthy years with them as possible is the reason for my plan to quit smoking. I work full-time in advertising and have for 20+ years. I love cardio and lifting but have a few pounds to lose. I hate that I cannot keep up which is reason #2 for my wanting to make some major lifestyle changes. My long term goal is to be in the best shape of my life by my 50th birthday which is in 3 years.
