Smooth sailing!!

[tia1717]

Today I would say it was a smooth day. No puffing on cigarettes but just spending time with the kids.  Boy have I realized a lot of time has been spent smoking on cigarettes and not enjoying the little things in life.  I am starting to look at life different and trying to enjoy just the simple things in life. A game of monopoly with the kids without having to smoke a cigarette or even have that craving for a cigarette was quite entertaining. Eventhough it is the weekend I also passed on a night out with husband because I didn't want to have that drink that would lead me to smoke again.  I am so far quite content and cravings are not that bad. I keep telling myself it will get better and having cigarette will be the last thing on my mind soon!

Good job on making the right choices.

Drinking is one of the biggest quit killers.

Smoking and living life are oxymorons. I decided early on  that my glass of wine before dinner is/was a trigger, so I needed to say nope to that too. 

About 2 months into quitting I allowed myself a glass of wine and all went well. The main thing you have to remember, don't do anything that will make you think it's ok to have a smoke. It's not ok, we are nicotine addicts, Tia! No more nicotine, especially when it's attached to cigarette smoke. It is lethal for us! 

Love and hugs,

Moody

Tia, you are making great choices, admirable choices, you will be very thankful for those choices as your quit progresses and I suspect your kids already are!

Hugs, Ellen

Yes wine is a trigger for me also Moody. I think I will hold off for a bit on the wine.  I will take it day by day. Thank you for your advice!:))
