Grateful - Day 18

Posted in Quit experiences
schedule 18 Oct 2011

Hi All

Well, fancy me not posting here for 5 entire days.  I vsiit often though.  And must say I was glad to see a post from those of you who are sharing this experience and have kept me motivated.

So today is all about saying thank you, you know who you folks are on here and thank you to my workmates, (I think I am less cranky this week) and and and........  I am just grateful that I am finding most people being incredibly supportive.  There have been a few of the odd characters that have said go on have one.... But by the by most people are good on you.

So today is day 18 - and it was on Sunday (day 16) that I woke up and for the first time thought, I believe I can do this.  Maybe because it was Sunday morning after guests around on a Saturday night for a BBQ and we were drinking and whilst I wanted a smoke I never had one and when I woke on Sunday it was like, I can do this.  It was not a bad night at all.

I know I have AGES to go to catch up to you 28 days, 2 months, 10 months etc.  but I will get there.  Keep going I can Quit co-quitters you are helping immensly.  We can do it.

Yes, you can do it! My willpower hasn't been as strong lately, I went out and had a few drinks and found myself having a battle in my head - 'you're an ex-smoker now, oh go on - the night owl's right there, one won't hurt'.. It was probably the toughest period I've gone through so far, being drunk made me very vunerable! So, good on you for finding strength after that night.. I'm also proud of myself for not caving in and not having even one smoke but have learnt i've got a little further to go before drinking again!
