GETTING READY, THURSDAY 2/11/21

I am getting things in order for my February 14, 2021 QUIT.   I am going to put every effort into this QUIT.  I know I can do this.  Tomorrow I will wash the ashtrays.  There are people in the household who smoke.  One smokes cigars, which do not tempt me at all.  I think cigars are disgusting. So that is a plus for me.  The other friend smokes, but comes and goes and she is willing to NOT smoke around me.  So that is a plus.  I know I can do this. I really think it will be easier since I am putting my mind into it.  I know there will be a lot of temptations and frustrations, but I will move through those.  I am going to stay close to all of you. Read, read, read.  Lot's of good food here to digest.  It is below zero here and lots of snow. I can't go out. I went to Physical Therapy today and I do have 3 exercises I am to work on during the day.  I have a better attitude. So, I just can't put myself on Cloud 9 that I am quitting. That's where I get into trouble.. A bit like being euphoric.  So, I shall talk to you all later, and I will let you know how I am doing.  I wish the best of success to all of you. Thank you for your kindness and awesome guidance.  Til next time. Stay Safe.

Happy to hear you're still on schedule and preparing for your quit.  What a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day--showing you love yourself enough to quit.  Stay close.

Congratulations CathyC1332‌!! I'm super excited for you!! You sound a lot like me 38 days ago!! You are right YOU CAN DO THIS!! My husband smokes around me in our house and I have been a nonsmoker for almost a month and a half now!! It seemed so far away even a week just a short time ago but each day WON is a boost in confidence.  Things that helped me a TON were water, breathing exercises, read read reading here... And I chew a TON of gum!! We are all rooting for you and I am excited to walk this journey with you. Have a great day 1!!
