I am Wonder Woman!

Today we took my father-in-law across town on some errands. 3.5 hours in the car, and more hours here and there. I didn't need a cig once! Normally the man drives me a bit crazy ( but I love him to pieces), with his constant worrying and fretting. I often would need an excuse to leave him, to go smoke a cigarette. I'd make up something. "Oh I have to go to the bathroom"  or " i forgot something in the car". 

Just to get a cigarette. I'd be stressed out in the car thinking, "no more stops, we have to get him home so I can smoke!". 

But not today... today was all smooth seas. A couple of waves here and there, when he started worrying about something I found silly, and when we passed a guy on a motorcycle smoking (still smells good to me), but I made it without getting grumpy or smoking. 

Now I feel like wonder woman. I can do anything!

I've been smoking since I was 13, and I am going to be 42 in a few days. I have had 2 quits that lasted 11 months. I have been trying to quit again now for over a month. I would get 4 days smoke free, then smoke for a couple then get 4 more days ect... I'm bipolar, with an anxiety disorder and ptsd. I'm also an alcohlic. I go to a group for dual diagnosis for these, as well as AA meetings. I also see a therapist and a psychiatrist regularly.
