Longest Week of My Life..

So I've finally made it through an entire week without smoking. I'm shocked that I've made it this far, yet I'm not at the same time because I don't like disappointing myself or others.. and knew I couldn't give in. I feel pretty good, and I'm happy that I chose to do this. I'm not entirely sure that I will successfully stay true to NTAP, since I haven't really put myself in that situation, but as much as smoking does attract me.. it also repulses me at the same time. It's like a love/hate situation.. well, I used to love it.. and now I just feel indifferent towards it.. sure, I feel like I miss it, but I know how terrible it is.. and that it was controlling me... and I know that as invincible as I may feel sometimes, the "it will never happen to me" way of thinking is bullsh*t because diseases and sickness do not discriminate, especially when you are provoking it yourself. I've been moody.. and I've been happy.. and I sure as hell have been hungry! I've been miserable and I've been strong. I can't say I'm jealous of those that have slipped.. but it always makes me want to do the same when I hear about it.. I haven't so far.. but I also haven't been around many smokers socially yet. I want to thank you all for the amazing support, I know that I can conquer this battle. I know I don't need this in my life. If I do end up slipping, I apologize to all of you in advance.. but I don't plan on it. I hope you all keep up the excellent work! 😃

Try reading the posts of people who have slipped and come back. Really read them, and look at how they truly feel about it. To me, that makes relapse seem a lot less inviting.
