The Struggle is REAL!!!

Today is day 11, and I find myself struggling....but.....

I AM STILL ENJOYING MY FREEDOM! 

Getting ready for work in the morning use to go like this:

Wake up go upstairs and hit the deck for 1st of the day.....

Drink coffee......Grab a shower....then hit the deck again.....

Go dry hair.....head back up and hit the deck again.....

Finish getting ready for work and go pack lunch.....

Pack car for work, and have one before getting in car to leave......

(I never did it in my car because I hate the lingering smell)  

Get to work, and stand outside of car and have one more......

Today I forgot my medicine...(Wellbutrin)  I am having phantom

smells today, and there is nobody here at work that smokes.

This morning I found the struggle being very real for the first 

time, but I coped through it, I kept telling myself, "you don't do

that anymore"  and it worked, because I don't do that anymore!

I am 11 days completely nicotine free and will not give in to 

the weed! 

Have an awesome day everyone!  Deep breaths.....fill those lungs with

clean fresh air!

About the Author
I'm an active 55 year old woman, who loves hanging with my family. I have 5 children 2 of them married, and 4 grand children. They are all my whole world. UPDATE 8/21/23 Now 61 years and have 2 more grandsons to add to the crew! My hobbies are bike riding, golfing, bowling, kayaking, painting (canvas or rocks) and gardening (getting the hang of it finally) I have smoked since I was 13 yrs old, and quit one time within the last ten years for a total of 9 months. Stress took me back to smoking. My life has been stress free for the last couple of years. Divorced for 2 years now, but back together with my Ex (husband) for a year now. It's time, I'm ready, and I quit! So far it's been pretty easy, so I'm very optimistic about this being my final quit! Thanks in advance for all the support! 2023 - Update: I now have 2 more grandbabies for a total of 6 and still smoke free! They will never get to know me as a smoker!!!!!!
