Redhead Kicks Butts

[suzyq4]

I feel like I'm in an ultimate fighting match and I'm getting my A** handed to me! These cravings are just wheedling their way into every aspect of my life these past few days. I was stacking firewood today and feeling pretty good about it. Proud of myself that before I quit this nasty habit i would have stopped for a smoke break AND had another one after I was done to "reward" myself for finishing the job. But my mind kept obsessing over the fact that I COULD smoke just one. Went to bed about 10:30 tonight, my usual time, and couldn't sleep because my mind kept going back to "Just one". I've been running thru the house chasing my cat and letting her chase me and really enjoying the fact that I could do this and not need an oxygen tank to breathe. Suddenly there it was again..."Just one"!! Driving home from the daughters today after her kids got off to school and day care and suddenly it popped iinto my head,"Just one". So maybe what I need to do is figure out what to add to "just one" to make it a complete sentence. A word game if you will. It can't be anything like "just one will kill me" or "just one will make me sick". I think I need to find a statement that has absolutely nothing to do with the butts! Something like "Just one more day closer to spring" or how about "Just one step away from heaven" or even "Just one is never enough". So how about it everyone? Could you help a gal with finishing "Just one........."

13 days quit and I haven't smoked 235 butts...saved $60.51....gained back 19 hrs and 35 min of my life. I CAN DO THIS!!!

Just one would give me an instant headache.

Just one more step in the right direction becomes just one more day that I love myself and that becomes just one more month that I know I am stronger than an addiction which becomes just one big beautiful reality for me!  Just one at a time, one craving, one battle, one war and then one dead addiction!  Just one battle at a time. 

These days I hardly ever think of smoking and now I almost think of myself as far far far far far away from it, the whole thing, the addiction, the cravings, the whole thing. 

I really have faith in you though.  You are strong and I can tell it by the way you talk in your blog.  You will make it, just keep on keeping on.  One day when you're at something like 30 days or 40 days you will be writing to other people that you hardly ever think of it anymore, cause it's been so long! 

You are doing great!!

Just one would reactivate all those extra nictotine receptors in my brain and send me back into physical withdrawal.

My quit is mine.  It is my decision to live a healthier life and safe tons of money.  My quit cannot be repossessed, taken, stolen, loste custody of, go into bankruptcy, or disappear.  I am the only one that can choose to keep it or lose it all in just one puff.  There is no person, place or thing that can take my quit.

You ARE kicking butt!
