had a bad day

 with all the times I've quit smoking you'd think I'd remember the third day. woke up feeling kinda nervous and jittery mind not the best. started stressing about every little thing. sure could use a cig. why am I doing this. big stresses coming,more worry more wanting to smoke.then around three the stress came(and went) not as big as I thought.then I spent about an hour and a half trying to figure what I had the taste for to eat. it was then(about five) that I realised i had hit that wonderful point in withdrawls where you realise all the physical pain is over. I've cleared my first and hardest barrier the physical addiction. my muscles are not hurting anymore, thoght is clearer. I feel as good if not better than I did before I quit. for those of you behind me this day will come for you and you will understand how I feel.after this it will be just dealing with old habits, new firsts and telling my smoking friends N.O.P.E. this makes me feel great. guess I'll grab a glass of soda and lean on the fence to talk to my cat( honey) once again God bless ya'll for being here.

please be careful of hangin with the fence dear Doug. Could you walk beside the fence with the cat instead of just leaning on it? Change up the routine alittle?  Memories, memories and  triggers, please remember that cuz it might make it more difficult. Have a great nite, you are doing wonderfully my friend. *hugs*

my back yard is exactly 5 foot wide. I can lean out the door and touch the fence.I'm too lasy to walk to either side yard if I'm just taking a break. sides, if I lean on the fence I can hear when the commercials are over lol and the stars are brighter back there.

just went out for a break. Honey wasn't around so I just leaned on the fence and smelled the smells. someone has a fire burning somewhere. every once in a while I could smell barbque maybe ribs. and under all of it the very light scent of the ocean[ I live about seven miles away but we get the seabrease at night. smells so much better now.

I bet it does. Are you in the northern or southern part of the city. I used to love to drive over from I10 to I95 and through Jacksonville. Also going straight through on I 95. Love those bridges and the oean of course.
