- A very testy day 2!!
A very testy day 2!!

Day 2 - This morning had to take my toddler to the emergency department. Very stressful situation!! Thank goodness he's okay, just a scare!! But wow I am tempted to have a smoke!! My brain keeps saying " you've had a stressful day, it's okay to go and have one, everyone will understand" I haven't had one and I know that i won't but its hard! And I don't like the way my subconscious if really making excuses for itself. If I can get through today then I know I'll never smoke again, I remind myself of that!!

Kristy, during one of my past quit attempts the same happened to me but I gave in and had a smoke. I want to let you know that I think you have beaten the first challenge and so early in your journey. You did NOT give in, well done this is a big achievement and you should be proud!

Very good work, must be proud of yourself. Every time a stressful situation would occur when I quit smoking I would say to myself ah its ok I will quit when things get better but then something else would happen & then when I was happy I would say I will smoke because I'm happy & celebrate. With smoking there will always be an excuse, Smokey no more butts out haha
