MONDAY MORNING

Wow, 6 full days under my belt and beginning day 7. Yesterday I did a whole lotta nada, binged on a show all day and ate too many sweets and snacks. Feeling like my pj's are a little tight this morning.  Can't make that a whole new habit, that wouldn't be much better, I would just be suffocating myself in fat instead of smoke.  As it is I need to lose 80-90 lbs. But I keep telling myself, slow your roll, one life saving effort at a time! 

Just one little blip yesterday morning, just one moment where I thought, "I need a cigarette", then I thought, "Shut up stupid!", and it was gone. I don't ever want to smoke that nasty little weed again, that rolled up death in nice white pretty paper. NOPE. I realize I don't need to watch for cravings, I don't need to watch for temptations, I need to watch my attitude, I need to watch my level of happiness, contentment, my stress, my fears, my worries. I need to watch my patterns of thought because that is where the next one is in hiding, waiting for a momentary lapse in reason. 

I can't wait to see my sister Barbara next month and let her know I finally stopped. She is going to be so happy. I don't want to tell her now, not yet. I have only told my dad and the cigar smoking in our office has slowed way down. I am grateful for that! I am grateful I woke up an ex-smoker. Have a blessed day!

Peace...

Living in New Mexico, which I love very much, originally from Calif. The sky is so big and blue and the land is so vast if you choose to leave the city for the day. NM is a wonderful place for meditation and contemplation.
