Keeping it real today

My past couple days have been a bit challenging in my Nio brain.  The thought of smoking came then the smell and taste of smoke in my senses. YUCK!!  So today burning candles and lots of mints is my plan.  Good thing I know thoughts are thoughts and I don't have to act on it.  I know I won't smoke over it but thought if I write it the nico dude will leave me alone. Not to scare newbies but sometimes later in your quit they can jump out and grab you and shake you a bit, that's why being viligant and aware of your thoughts and surroundings is needed to protect your quit.  I am on 333 (another fun number) of freedom with 32 days to go for my one year. So for me still one day at a time and NOPE!!! SINAO!!! and I don't do that anymore will help you succeed. HOpe everyone is having a good smokefree Tuesday.

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am married, a mom to 5 kids and also have 2 fur babies that are both shelties and considered my kids. I have smoked for about 30 years. I came here to learn how to quit and stay quit. I need to quit to impove my health and was tired of nicotine controlling me and Doctors and family nagging me. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Now that I have joined in the EX family I now have been free of nicotine since May 13th 2016.
