Life is Funny and Where is Tiger?
Not much from me today, not even sure what number day smoke free it is now. Friday will be 8 weeks which by my time tables is 56 days, so today is Wednesday must be at 54 - woo hoo!
Almsot caved last Friday COMPLETELY lost the plot - but did not and SO happy on Saturday an dto be honest have kind of cruised along since. Naturally checking in here to see how everyone is going.
Which brings me to point two of my title. Where is Tiger74 and her words of wisdom? I am missing her very clever and encouraging comments and want to know that she is still going strong! TIGER!!!!!!
Onto point one of my title (clearly order is not a priority today) Life is funny - someone at work gave up around teh same time as me and now comes and tells me when they have fallen off the wagon and apologise. I am like, mate no skin off my nose, but oh well start again? Then I endure a long conversation about it was only 1 etc. And for some reason if I say it's OK they go away happy!
Anyway, during these conversations it is clear to me, that well good on him if he can have one every now and then in his words a handful in the two months. Just reinforces for me I cannot have any at all. As I will just go back to it. So I say this. Something like well that's ok I can't though I would be back on the bloody things.
So then I get this talk about how good I am and how because I am doing it, he will keep going. Uhm OK dude, I am trying to get myself off them you do your own thing. Then another friend she sends me an email asking me how I have managed to stop.
So I explain why I stopped how I stopped about this site etc. And I get this long email back about how she has tried to stop before but will again because I ave inspired her etc.
Then another firend we were at the pub, she says yep I am going to do it. Not telling anyone but will you help me. Well I will do what I can but really you have to do it yourself. Says me.
Anyway life is funny because along the way of this mad path of stopping smoking as in being mean, yelling, getting fat, (although have started swimming 1km a morning) losing the plot, being agitated and not even preaching to people I know who smoke somehow I have become the quit guru!
This is very ODD as I am have no idea how I am doing it, just that I want to do it. So there in lies the Winner (non guru secret), you just have to want to not smoke.
Right work beckons (well I am here) and boy is it wet in Sydney this morning. YUCK! Got wetter getting to the pool to do laps than I did swimming I have to say.
