Not too much to Report

Hi Folks

Well I do not have too much to report today, which is day 66 - clickety clicks!

I read that some of my fellow sanity folk on here were struggling and I do hope that you found the strenghth to stay on the path and stay smoke free.  If you didn't, then do not beat yourself up.  Just start again.  Remember 1 day at a time.

So, my weekend was funny!  As a general rule I find the lead up to Christmas very stressful and I am not fond of crowds and rushing and spending too much money etc.  So it was with a bit of trepidation that I stepped out on the weekend to complete Christmas shopping.

All done, all wrapped, tree purchased, decorated and I am sorted.  Did I think about having a ciggarette - probably a few more times that I normall would on a weekend (looking for a car space, seeing the credit card used etc etc etc).  But really they were fleeting thoughts.

So all good in Winner's world - although the weather in Sydney yesterday afternoon was a shocker and I was BORED and that is always a danger for me, but I survived.  Was funny had to go across to the service station to buy a lighter (to light Christmas candles not smoke) and man in BP, says Oh no are you smoking again?

No I say, it was 9 weeks of not smoking last Friday - Oh good mate (think Kwikky Mart accent) you look much healthier.  I said I think you mean fatter.  No he says, you look healthier your skin is brighter and your eyes are all clear.

So, when I thought about it, I realised that I think as the quittee we focus on how hard it is and we sometimes lose sight or do not even notice the good we are doing for ourselves.  So everyone check out your fresh brighter skin and clear eyes and be proud of continuing.

Right work for me.  Have a good one all.

And by the by, does anyone know how often they update this site?  I am thinking not that much, I mean Claire's story was ok and all but gee I am sick of her (just sayin).
