Day 12 = Confession Time

Confession = I slipped this morning. I woke up, took the dogs out, half asleep, I grabbed my husbands cigarettes and lit one.  I didn't think at all until I took a drag. My eyes widened and I said, "WTF STACY!?!" Yes, I said that; out loud in the 3rd person!  My inner demon chimed in with, "too late now might as well smoke it."  Then I took about 3 more puffs before my sanity kicked in and I put it out. All in all I smoked about a 1/3 of it. None would have been better. The entire thing would have been worse. I hate that I stumbled. I hate that I slipped. I tattled to my family as soon as they woke up. They are so supportive. I am feeling a bit blessed by there reactions. I spent most of the morning psychoanalyzing myself before I decided to stop overthinking it, forgive myself and let it go. I have come too far to lose this battle! I mean, it didn't even taste good! So there is that lesson to be thankful for.

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.
