The power of DISTRACTION

There was a little family problem today (No one was getting along-everyone screaming-etc-etc-you know the scenario). Anyway, after all these years of thinking I wasn't an emotional smoker...HOW I WAS SO WRONG! When the blame started heading to my end of the table along came the tears rolling down my face...then the pressure in my head....and hey presto, let the cravings begin.....
Cut a long story short; I sat there, cried a little,held my breath and calmed myself down (saying my quit smoking mantra: you don't need one). Once I was calm I took myself to my nieces room, laid down and had a nap. (Ahhhhh the power of distraction). I woke up feeling a little better-but atleast it stopped my temptation to run off and purchase a packet of cigarettes.
Truth is; it was so easy to smoke a cigarette. Reality is; my problem would have still been there.
love it!
You are sooo right, you will deal with things and grow without those emotion suppressants!
