Day 15

I was parked outside of the gas station store for 15 minutes today. I desperately wanted to buy a pack; I didn't. I got into a pretty good argument with my husband today and he ended up going for a drive. As soon as he left, I did too... To the store! See, I didnt want to smoke. I know it will sound crazy but I was having all of these feelings and even though I knew smoking wouldnt do anything for me, it would be one less thing I was fighting inside of myself. I wanted to feel less pain inside. I cant really say what made me not do it, I just didn't. This is my final quit, I have no more excuses to tell my family or myself. I am done smoking. I have made it through 2 very stressful things, maybe the 3rd wont be as hard. I am just tired of feeling bad... Time to do things to bring a smile to my own face. Thanks to everyone who checked on me after yesterday, I'm still here and still quit.

You are somewhere in the Anger and Bargaining stage Brittany....we all go through the stages of grief with giving up addiction....you were strong, but the fight with husband could have been an excuse to smoke...be sure to let your hubs know that many of these emotions are not meant towards him, but is the addiction...learning to cope with Life without smokes takes time.  Next time you get angry...get angry at Nicodemon he did this to you.....Congratulations on 15 days Quit...Happy Saturday ~ Colleen 418 DOF

Congratulations on making it through another thing that was really annoying. 

I heard this a while ago and wrote it down because it made so much sense to me. Now I'll pass it on to you:

In life we are not always afforded the luxury of being fully prepared for the obstacles we face. Confronting the unknown is how we grow.

Great work staying smober--keep it coming.
