1 Month Today!
I made it through the month of June. Yippee!!! However lately I have been having wayyyyy toooo many urges to smoke. I am not even near smokers. I Google, "when will I feel the benefits of not smoking" and of course, it shows me the timeline... but I am looking for reasons I am not feeling improvement in any way, however, I do notice one thing... I like the feeling of not watching how many cigs I have left day after day after day....
I am determined to get through this stage. I made it this far and I do not want to repeat the first days again. I have smoked since a teenager and I am 67 now but MANY folks out there have smoked as long as I have or longer, and smoked way more cigs than I, and they did it!!! IF THEY CAN DO IT, SO CAN I!!!!
I often breath deep, keeping busy and going to bed early. It is up to me to make it easy but I have always had an addictive personality... but it is time to come clean and live healthy... no addictions!!
Well, if I make it through this month, I will post,,, if I don't post, you will know that I caved in...
Keep not smoking all you beginners.. WE CAN DO THIS !!!

Yes, we can do this!
Don't let the negative thoughts get the better of you. Should you "cave in" then you will try again and let us know what you learned about yourself. After all, this forum is to learn from , not only others but about our own strenghts and weaknesses. It is amazing how much stronger we are than we think!
Congratulations on making a whole month. Many do not even make it that far and are envious of you! However, we would all be disappointed if you just gave up at this point. We need you to inspire us and show us that it can be done.
Find the silver lining in every cloud and know that the sun will shine again tomorrow.
