Double Figures

schedule 10 Oct 2011

Well, I would have never thought I would be at day 10.  But it is here.  Feels like it has taken months not 10 days for some reason but here it is.

And, happily they were able to re-start Dad's heart and it is in a correct beat now.  So that is all good.

Am worried, that now my routine of getting up, coming to work is back I will be more tempted to have 'just one'.  I don't want too, but my mind has been playing tricks on me.  Watching movies if I see someone smoking I can smell it.

Also I seem to see smokers everywhere, where I may not have seen them before.  Oh well maybe it is like when you buy a new car you see that car all over the place.

And a big yay to me (which is a funy thing to do/write) but managed to be in the pub on Saturday afternoon with smokers and be outside and not have one.  Cannot say I had a grand time whilst out as all I kept thinking about was wanting to join them but yay for refraining.  Put myself in the line of fire and survived.  Wonder if I will ever enjoy a beer again???

Hey that is great news about your dad. And the reaching of double figures. I am sure that you will be able to enjoy a beer again. I went out on the weekend and found that i struggled when sitting outside with the smokers on what to do with my hands, it felt weird not to light up. I felt a little antisocial but i am sure that it will get easier.

You are going along awesome. Tell the little voice that wants just one to shut up you don't really want it otherwise you wouldn't have quit!!!! Keep up the good work.
