Day 9 Or 10

I can't do it. All I can think about is smoking. This sucks. This is when I cave. I'm surprised I haven't bought any yet. I just went to Walgreens and bought Jolly Ranchers instead. This too shall pass, right? Huh? Huh? I WANT A CIGARETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kat,

if you feel that you need permission, then please - by all means, have a cig - a pack - a carton! you have my blessing.

of course, in a day, a week, a month, you'll be right back to square one - hating yourself and feeling lower than whale poo for having caved into your deadly desires one more time.

the vicious cycle!

i had a friend a few years back who quit for 7 months - he turned into a prick of misery! one night he went home after work to find that his wife had packed his suitcase. she greeted him with the ultimatum: "either go down to the liquor store and buy a pack of cigarettes or pickup this bag and get the F outta here!"

well, he bought that pack of cigs - two years later he was diagnosed with lung cancer and had to have one of his lungs removed to save his life.

it's a choice, ya know.

i love ya and hope you'll hang on another day - and then another and another.

let me give you a little hint: it's all about attitude, or a change thereof.

love ya's!

*sdr*

Yes you can do this.. and YOU will do this. Don't do what i did, after three months started again, dumb dumb dumb..

Now that you have stopped, tell yourself that you really do not want one, that the other 12 stepper person does, and you do not know her. Better yet say to yourself I don't even LIKE this other 12 stepper person..
