Share your quitting journey
I'm off today and after working 3-11 last night I slept late got up am thankful for my blessings,, " Oh Mirillia if you only knew all the things I want to say but don't." My movie trivia quote of the day because it applies,, how ever I did say a lot when I responded to Sheris "Give them a Break." I agree with Sheri but, you know don't be gullible either, most people are intelligent enough to read between the lines .
I am happy and don't know all the answers and look for them here everyday and am inspired here every day to continue as a happy quitter and inspired daily to try and help others. " I don't know about these things Ms Melind." another movie trivia quote.
Anyhow it is quite possible to be practically a chain smoker , which I would of been if I didn't go to work. And quit cigarettes and be happy about it,, but alas, you do in fact have to want to quit. OWWWW! That remark always made me so mad! before I realized it was true,, without the desire it won't happen.
Remember don't get hungry, or thirsty it will cause a trigger,, now that don't mean you've got to try and eat up creation like I'm doing! HA! But heres how sad an addict I was,,, I was always slim,, but I started smoking as a child so the desire for food wasn't there,, I literally ate just to stay alive, I could of cared less when people started talking food and restaurants ,, a drink and a cigarette or coffee and a cigarette was what interested me.
I can remember when I was young and smoking was allowed in the work place I would eat a half a sandwich , light a cigarette and keep going. Be at a family affair and food would be everywhere, I could of cared less. I wanted to smoke. And I did I smoked and smoked. Even other smokers would say "God James, you smoke too much." other smokers now ,, think about it.
I traveled to Europe about 10 years ago, was I excited about the food? No, I was excited that you could smoke practically anywhere! Of course some places like inside the Louve and all the other wonderful historical places, you could not and I almost don't remember parts of that because I was OBSESSED with getting outside to smoke!!
Ok I'll hush about it and finish my day off, I just want people to see if an addict like me can quit and turn their life around ,, anyone can.
Oh and the conclusion to the food story. I always cooked and people said it was good. But now, boy, now All I can think about is what can I cook and eat now! HA! I went from 154 lbs to 174 since Dec 09. I'l worry about it once my quit is even more comfortable than it allready is. But boy oh boy what I missed out on wonderful food!! Budy I'm making up for lost time!!!!Ha!!!
