I am already having the celebratory cravings, a huge trigger for me. So I have made the pledge on Ex and put on the big patch. I know I can do this, especially with all the support here.
So after 11:05am, instead of "celebrating" by poisoning myself, I'm going to give my fur baby extra hugs and kisses and buy myself whatever I'm craving for lunch. Yay!
Congratulations on ONE WEEK. You are doing great. I told myself after a week. "If you can quit for one week, you can quit for the rest of your life." That was 5 1/2 years ago. You are doing this.
Thanks everybody! Please keep 'em coming, I'm gonna need all the encouragement I can get. I'm nervous and just waiting for the day to end so I can put this one behind me. Celebration is a big trigger for me, so I'm both proud and anxious. Jittery as neck this morning.
I got my oral fixation zip lock in my purse - gums, mints, vitamin C tablets to suck on, health bars. I'm running low, though, gotta remember to get more. Gotta arm myself heavily!
I know I can do this with your help... I turned on the email notifications so I'll get your messages on my phone while I'm out.
I DO rock, and so does Oliver. He's been working/playing really hard today, helping me with my quit. He's so tuckered out, he couldn't make it to either of his dog beds or up on my bed. He followed me in, took a couple steps and laid down right there.
Work is stressful. Mentally ill, drug addits, drug dealers, ex cons. Currently seeking work with animals, I love dogs. Am concerned about my own depression/anxiety issues without cigarettes to calm down.
