Well, midday already and things are going pretty good. I honestly cannot believe that I am mentally doing okay with all this today. I thought for sure this entire day was going to be pretty miserable. I must say, most of my good mood is due to my new friends here. I was telling my husband last night; I have quit many times in the past. I have a few friends that had quit years ago and they would tell me, you can do it, don’t let your emotions take over. You have the willpower.
For some reason, those words from my reformed smoker friends do not mean anything in comparison to what my new friends here say. They might even be all the same words, but the fact that YOU are feeling EXACTLY what I am feeling at EXACTLY the same time means so much more to me in font than any words my friends can say to my face.
I truly appreciate all the time, all of you take, in giving me that support & understanding that I so desperately need at one of the most vulnerable times in my life. Recently I posted to a forum that I was having a weak moment & so many people came to my rescue telling me this will pass. Yes, of course they were right; they were just in my shoes two minutes ago. That means the world to me.
Try to make yourself a promise; yes, you have already done that by quitting, but make another promise. Tell yourself, if you do have a moment or even an hour or more of weakness, come to this site BEFORE you go buy that pack. That pack of cigarettes will most likely give you a guilt trip that will last a lot longer than that craving…and you would have gotten over all by yourself or maybe with a little help from your friends. Take the time to really think about what you are doing, because you deserve it.
Stay Strong my friends. I am with your help. Thank you so much.
