22 Days!

[hattie]

I got through the weekend and my son's melt down.

I'm really happy I managed to get through all that and still stay quit.

As for the kid... and his "You f____d up my life" well... I wish I'd thought of that! For if I had, I could blame my mom and dad for all of my screw-ups in this life. I'll have to remember that the next time something doesn't work out quite the way I want it. The best part is, I don't have to blame myself, I can blame them! What a concept.

I can blame them for my smoking, even though the didn't shove a smoke in my face and light it!

I can blame them for choosing the guy I married and that it didn't work out!

I can blame them for the Great Flood!

I can certainly blame them for my existance and that's all I need as a weapon and reason! Yeeha!

I knew I was missing something important in this life!

Seriously, I do appreciate the support I got here during this sticky time over the weekend. I know I would have folded if I didn't have the ex community to turn to.

I know when I was a kid, I blamed my parents big time for me being here and being the failure that I am.

Hi Hattie, congratulations!  22 days is major, three weeks plus a day.  Most of the withdrawal should be done.  You are doing great, protect your great quit!

Everytime someone gets mad or dont go there way they feel someones to blame when really its just emotions coming out and just life in general.Just kick your feet up and down  and chalk it up to experience.They will learn in time. Congrats of 22 days. Thats something to be very proud of. Dont let stress make you smoke  just take some deep breaths and put some headphones on and listen to music and you will get over the stress.

Thanks folks. I tell you, I am so surprised that this has been going as well as it has been. Whew...

Dave... do keep coming to the site... especially when struggling. I know I do... I start feeling an urge... no matter how small and I come here. I look at the counter on my page and it gives me the strength to go another day.

Night all. Have a good evening.
