Survived the trip to Canberra

Well, I did it.  Spent a week in Canberra with  my family (most of whom smoke) and did not light up.  I was tempted - so tempted a number of times.  You know how it is with family, drinking, cards, arguments etc.  There was one point on my first night there, I picked up one of my sisters smokes.  I was so close to lighting it and she told me to go for a walk.  So I did and just kept telling myself that I didn't want to ever start back at day 1.  It worked.

There have been times over the past week where I have felt so strong and thought that since I survived Canberra, I can get through anything.  Then there are days like today where for some reason I really feel like a smoke.

Someone put on here something like 'day 546 and I finally don't feel like having a smoke' - Seriously - I have to wait years to feel like that?  So wish I never started.

Hopefully next story I'm feeling a little more positive and upbeat.
