Day 30
Yes day 30 and pretty proud of myself !! However nearly had a slip on the weekend.....my daughter was upset and seeing her like this stressed me to the point of really feeling like having a cigarette....I recognised this big time as something I would usually do when I was a smoker and was stressed....but I just recognised the thoughts / feelings and resisted and shortly the need to have a cigarette subsided and disappeared. It is truely amazing observing the deeper stuff attached to addiction / smoking, this is a huge learning for me about me...
Well done wen!
Thats excellent, it's so good when you come out the other side of a stressful time and look back and realise that you didnt give in and have a smoke..
well done.
Power to you and keep focused :)
Life is full of stressful situations and we will continue to have to deal with stress. And yes the first thing that the "old" us would do would be to light up a cigarette. But lets now think what we were picking up - yes it is legal but more importantly it is lethal. As you aware the urge, the craving or the pain in the stomach will pass and more importantly the lethal stick does not solve the stress at all. Keep at it Wen - a few more weeks and you will sit back and laugh at these early weeks as the new YOU. Gary
