OK...so I am now one week of not smoking!! So proud of me! Yay me!!!  (I have so been waiting to post this YAY ME!!!)

Today was super super stressful, rushed....had me crying....I know sometimes life is just plain hard.

I believe a couple of days ago...I had the same stressful day (sometimes I am the cause of my own stress...but thats another story all together)...I planned that when I got off work that I would stop and buy a pack...I went to the store...but turned around and didn't buy them.

Now up to today...super stressed...crying...venting...crying...venting....NOT ONE TIME DID IT CROSS MY MIND THAT I NEED A CIGARETTE!

Now a few days ago it did cross my mind...but today it didn't cross my mind...I didn't think about a cigarette until I logged on today...so I think it means...I am winning...I am determined and N.O.P.E.   (Well that's what I am telling myself it means!

 

I wanna keep my quit!...

Hate it.  Hate the corporations that are manipulating you, enslaving you and killing you, for their own profit.

Life?  It has it's ups and downs.  As for me, I can survive the downs, but I am crazy wild about the ups!  I want to hang around as many years as possible just for the good moments.  I want MORE springtimes, MORE summers, MORE autumns and MORE winters.  MORE, MORE, MORE.

If you don't hate smoking, I think it will sense it and come back to you in a moment of weakness.  I wouldn't be surprised if the tobacco companies figured out something about brain chemistry to make even that happen, months after you've quit.  I'm not a quack or a kook and not a conspiracy theorist, but I will admit that I don't trust the tobacco "scientists" even one little bit.

So hate it.  Hate the corporations that are manipulating you, enslaving you and killing you, for their own profit.

Stress without the thought of a cigarette is an awesome milestone! Yay you!

Not done yet (I don't think I can ever say I'm done!) but you have a great quit going there!

Stay strong and breath deep! (I do the breathing thing several times a day - sometimes to de-stress and sometimes just cause it feels good!)
