last night was so hard. my husband left for iraq and i was just distraught. I had one glass of wine (knowing it was a bad idea) but still did not smoke, thank God. It was so hard! It's a slippery slope, drinking...i know if I were to drink tooo much then I'd give in to the cigarettes. Drinking just makes the path that much harder...so why do it...ahhhh its fun and relief but i can resist for a month? Right? lol I need to! I am finding that quitting cigs is also giving up a few other things, for example: alcohol, greasy food...environments in general. And, I know I will only give those other things up for a season as I learn to live life without a cig...but its such a loss...its like changing your whole routine around and its so hard. I keep thinking, "gosh I cannot do this..." but then I think, you know? I did not smoke for the first 21 years of my life and I lived a great life...better than now...so it is possible...good luck everybody i'm glad we have this place to share.
