It's hard
Hi guys rember me I'm the 1 that had a mild stoke, wel was lookin 4ward 2 a makeup party but couldn't go caus I'd be around smokers n drinkers n thort it b 2 hard cause I gave up cigies n grog 2 n half weeks ago now I'm feelin sad like I miss my old life I get why but it's so hard
I understand temptation will be hard to resist, but maybe say to the organiser of the party you can only manage an hour or two as you are needed elswhere too as soon as temptation is too much you can leave to your other 'enagement' be part of old life and stay off the smokes at the same time
It is really, really hard to give up our old lives and it will take a long time to settle into our new ones comfortably. But I know that every day we resist it gets easier and when, sometimes it is shockingly hard, we just need to go for a long walk, eat a bag of chips or do something that comforts. It definitely gets easier but it is a hard road we have chosen.
If you made a list of why you wanted to give up, then check that list when the going gets tough. If you didn't make a list, then make one now!
Good luck.
im day 59 and it keeps getting better...stay the course and be strong..you can do this ..p.s. your old friend was killing you!!!!!
