Day 7

[michelle95]

Last night I went to my Dad's for dinner. My Dad, who chain smokes.. But I did okay when he went out to the deck. I actually went out with him a few times and it didn't bother me too much. I kept telling myself, "Yeah he's smoking, but I don't do that anymore, no big deal!".

After dinner we went for frozen custard and that helped. I don't remember the last time I had ice cream or custard or anything like that. It was awesome!! Much better than a cigarette. Sure I need to walk 5 miles today, but so worth it!

Good going Michelle, you were tested and you maintained your quit. Just string your determination to quit  together when the next test comes and it will. If you truly want to quit just do anything else except light one up. It takes time but it will get easier.

And yes ice cream is better then a smoke and every day you don't smoke that ice cream will taste better. You are doing really good just stay focused, it is worth it.

Hi Michelle.  I am on Day 8 and glad to see you passed your test.  My husband spokes and I haven't had too much of a problem being around him, but finding out quitting is one second, one minute, one hour and one day at a time.  Best to you.
