Day 16 - staying true

Last night the group and universe helped me keep my pledge.  This morning I had a meeting with my personal trainer and started the day late and running.  CJ is a great kid and we’ll work together to help me regain my health. I’m excited and nervous and hopeful.

however, that nicobrain has to make itself known.  I read something this morning that said we are human and may slip. Just don’t let that slip derail your quit.  Aha! There it is. Permission to slip.  Isn’t it ridiculous that my brain could see those words and think they were encouragement to smoke rather than encouragement to keep on despite challenges?  I think maybe I’m getting smarter already 😁🚭.

 I’m really sleepy today and just want to go home and nap, but I’ve got physical therapy so I’m off again.  I also read something about think about where you’ll be in a year - health wise, financially, etc.  I’m going to hold on to that today.

My avatar shows me eating honey my grandson’s bees make. I’m 75 year (someone told me I’m only 71 - someone can do the math born 11/08/1952) old with 60 year smoking habit. Grandmother to 14 amazing humans and soon to be a great grandmother. Six wonderful children who deserve to have a mom who doesn’t smoke and stays as healthy as possible for as long as possible. I’ve lived urban, suburban and rural places. Worked at many jobs from plastic injection molding and waiting tables to teaching and journal editing. Retired, divorced, long Covid. Looking for what the next universe has in store for me next.
