Tomorrow is my BIG day

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. At least it seems like a long time since I picked up that damn cigar and started smoking again. But they are disgusting, nasty things that are making me sick. I don’t like the smell on me, I don’t like the coughing that I am doing once again, I don’t like any of the side effects that come with smoking. I know why I quit the first time and the same holds true today. I value my health and I have tried so hard in many ways to get healthy, and smoking is not a part of that lifestyle. I’m so mad at myself for throwing away seven months cigarette free, but I know I can do this again. I’ll need your support because it won’t be easy. HELL week is about to start. I’m hoping that it won’t be quite as difficult as before because I have not been smoking nearly as much as when I quit the first time. But I know it WON’T BE EASY. I finally have my mind in the right place and it’s time to do it! I’m sorry that I’ve been absent on the site recently, but I really needed to get my head straight before thinking of doing this again. I miss my friends and I hope that you will be there to support me as you were before! 

Tomorrow when I wake up, I will do things differently, my routines will change once again, I will have my sour candy on hand and lots of water to hydrate. And I will start walking again instead of smoking. My quit with alcohol has been an awesome success, and now that I am settled in that respect I feel that I can do the same with smoking once again! Thank you my friends and I will see you tomorrow!

About the Author
I am a 59 year old single female who loves animals, working in my yard and photography. I currently have 7 animals: 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 parrots. I love the outdoors, especially the ocean, and like to get outside as often as possible. I became very sick In 2017 and I was diagnosed with Myofibrillar Myopathy, a rare form of muscular dystrophy, in 2018, and had two major spinal surgeries to correct neuromuscular scoliosis, which was causing a 75° curve in my lumbar spine, in 2019. I then had my left knee replaced in 2020 (my right one had been replaced in 2016). So I have been through a lot of surgeries in the last six years. Not to mention several that came before that. I am on a quest to get healthier and I’m currently on a weight loss journey to lose 55lbs, which I’ve already lost 40lbs. I want to quit smoking while I am on my weight loss program so that I don’t gain weight during the quit! I’ve quit smoking several times in my life for over 2 years, and one time for 10 years! This time I want to quit for good! I know I can do it! It is just going to take willpower and the right state of mind. I’m hoping that this program and support group can help me achieve that! From what I have seen so far of the group, I want to remain a long-term member, and be able to share my advice and story 10 years down the road! I am finding that helping others quit, helps me stay quit!!
