The one puff lie

I don't have to worry about not smoking tomorrow or the next day or in 5 weeks or 2 years. I just have to be vigilant about one puff. I am lucky that I live in the country and the stores close early and cigarettes are not available then. I don't dare go into a grocery store, because they sell cigarettes there. Luckily I stocked up on food and milk and bread and coffee and soups. and tomatoes and parsley and cheddar. I am fortunate that I do not want to smoke. I have believed the one puff lie before, 3 times to be exact, so it is not going to fool me again. Now I am hyper alert for what might fool me again. i need to relax. but I am not going to smoke to do that. Eleven days quit and it feels like day 3. Tomorrow is another day. and a day Won is a million times better than a Day One. Thanks folks, for sharing your struggles and victories. It has sure helped alot. Alot.

Karen,

Don't be thinking about how difficult it is for you to go buy smokes.  You don't do that anymore ----- end of thought.  Maybe when you start to go there, think instead about what you might buy yourself with the money you are saving the next time you get in town.

You are DOING this!  Keep at it!
