once again
Well my day is coming. have been trying to quit for years but do not seem to be able to stay away, I get to 7 weeks or 2 weeks or sometimes just a few days. I have to give up, I hate that I smoke, when I am not smoking I smell people who have just had a smoke and I think how bad it smells. I don't like being the only person in my workplace that stills smokes, I don't like that I am not strong, I don't like that it all seems so hard. I feel like I am a fraud every time I tell my husband, friends and family that I am quitting. This time it is different I tell myself every time. But this time it is true, I am done. I look at the counter $91 a week, shameful. I have set my goals, my quit date, I have made a appointment with a counsellor. This time is my time. This is about me, not about pleasing my boss, my friends or my dog. This is about me, I am doing this for me. What is that new catch phrase? Because I am worth it. Well I am.
Well done Rox. You CAN do it & yes you can do it for YOU because you ARE worth it & you deserve better. I'm now on my 3rd day & after a stressful phone call with my mum just want to give in but still none in the house & checked my savings balance so must keep going. Bring on the cravings, I simply don't care this time, I'm not giving in. Only day 3 & I feel fabulous, so refreshed & well slept, took the dog for an hours walk this morning, up early with the kids, it felt so great. You can do it too. I really wish you well! We can get it done!
Thanks for the support. I am determined this time. I have placed a new pic on my screen saver as motivation, it is sooo cute, it is a Fiat POP Lounge. That is what I am going to buy myself when I have been smoke free for 12 months, when I smoke free for 2 years look out cruising world. But for now, smoke free for one week and I am going to buy myself a new scarf for winter, have seen one in the local shop extra cute and just my style, motivation helps me to focus.
Go for it Rox, hope you are ok, just copied this post for you.
Day 4. Feeling stronger than ever. Every time I have the urge I keep imagining myself kicking or punching and smashing through a brick wall which represents the wall of cigarettes that have been stopping me from kicking it until now. Those poor, sorry packets are going down big time!! ha ha...they'll never stop me now ...
