schedule 2 Aug 2015

Last night, as I was having a glass of wine, I thought to myself that I'd reward myself with a cigarette today! I have a few people coming over and I swear I was ruthlessly planning of lighting up with my friends. I woke up this morning and I thought this would BE a REALLY SILLY, STUPID IDEA. so I think I will not smoke, no....I am sure I will not smoke.

My son was out on the verandah having cigarettes last night. I know smoke stank, but it permeated the whole house and it actually made me quite angry on how he made the house smell, so I delegated him to another part of the garden...

I feel good again, off the cigarettes for 11 days, clothes are fresh and washed and ironed, house is started to smell like a house and smelling less and less like a smoke stack. Today, I'll be looking at rhe people who don't smoke and not at the people who do smoke. Starting to feel free of the ball and chain.....

Well done Lindavan. Remain strong you are soooo close two ticking off two weeks in three days. How good will that make you feel. You will be talking in weeks then not days. Anyway you have to come up with your dart theme song. Have a great day. Xxx

I have admiration for your strength Lindavan. You obviously live with a smoker and have enough people around you that still smoke (that would be a temptation).....and you are still able to hold back. Well done!

Helpppppppppp fallen off the wagon

schedule 15 Aug 2015

Del57 Don't worry about falling off the wagon. If it's a minor fall, just ignore it! If it,s a big fall, get up and start again. It's a nuisance but hey. I quit for 6 years and then fell off the wagon for six. Each day of those six years, I soooooo regretted having started again, I could have slashed my wrists. Try not to beat yourself up about it (I know that's easier said than done). Good luck.
