Good stuff happens too

Hi Members, Well, I have what is a very big success story for me... I went over to the sister site for Stopping Smoking and read all the posts over and over. Then I decided that I could really quit with those members behind me with their stories of their struggles and successes and the amounts of time the long-time quitters give over to supporting newbies like myself.... I went and got a prescription for Champix from the doctor and now I'm 4 days into the first week's course and already they are helping to make the smoke unsatisfying... I will quit smoking in 3 more days and I know that I can turn to the SSC for help when I get the withdrawals and the cravings... Wish me luck my fellow members - I notice that there's not much posting going on for the last few days... but then, neither did I.... My love to you all

DL - I guess everyone deals with their successes differently and certainly what one's success story can be a different meaning for someone else. I certainly hope I wasn't rude at all in my last response, I'm sorry if I offended you. I've always had to live up to my husband, his family and some friends because I stay home with my boys (they are now in school), but "I have all the time in the world" according to them, so when I do something that I'm not confident at, it means the world to me when I do it, but not much to them. I wish they would see what I do and think, WOW, what a good Mom. Now I'm feeling sorry for myself, sorry. This is a success story section and I'm not doing that. I understand the tiny steps to healing, one day at a time is my motto, it works for me. You're very wise DL, please keep writing to us, it's interesting. Have a good day.

Maggie, There was a time ten years ago when getting out of bed was a success for me. Getting into the shower was even bigger. I had to prepare for days to even think about going out for groceries. So, yes, I understand that your getting the boys to the arena despite setbacks along the way is a big deal for you. I've been there and so has most everybody else on this site. Our healing is in tiny steps forward and then back and forward again a bit more...I know what you've done and I congratulate you for your big heart. tell us more about the difficulties in your day.

Daily Llama, I think a success story can be different for everyone, no matter how big or small. When I have to go to the arena by myself with 3 young boys (the arena being a half hour away) on a snowy evening and meeting my husband there (he comes from work), he has missed getting dinner ready, getting the boys to do their homework, scrambling to get things together for hockey and racing to the arena on the highways, and as I'm walking into the arena, he is finishing up his coffee, forgetting to get me one while he was there, and I actually make it on time and safely, I feel that this is a success story for me. I'm just learning to be more and more independent with my boys and doing that and showing my husband that I can do this was very important to me. I'm glad you had a good evening with your friend. I can just imagine how difficult that was for you. But everyone's situation is different and how they define success is different. You must feel good about yourself, what a great thing you did.

DL ... hats off to you!! It sounds like you have a ton of stuff going on in your life and yet you find the energy and drive to get out there and do things. Do important things. You inspire me as well. I love hearing success stories. I struggle with getting myself out and being social with friends I've lost touch with so your experience offers hope that perhaps I, too, will be able to renew some friendships.

DL I am so happy for you. What a great thing you did last night. a nice night with a nice meal, chatting to an old friend. You speak as if it was a small deal but it was a huge achievement as you fell out with him 10 years back and wasnt sure of the reception you were going to get. You are an inspiration.

Maggie, A success story is just something which lifts your spirits, like getting the kids to school on time when it might have been a disaster,yes? Well, I did something today that Ithought I couldn't do. I had heard that an old friend, with whom I'd fallen out 10 years ago over some petty BS, was very ill and I got up the nerve to go see him today. He scared me to death when I met him this time because he was no longer the 43 yr old athlete and mover and shaker and teacher but a thin man trying hard to control his twitching limbs and control his speech and be in good heart - we were happy to see each other after all that time and we had an Indian meal together in Montrealthis evening. We talked and talked and renewed our ancient friendship (we were classmates in the English Lit. Department in the '70s). It was a success because I was on a downer all this morning (saturday - I haven't been to bed yet...) and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get rid of the negative thinking before I met him in the afternoon. But I did. I feel good and so does he... that's all... later.....

That's wonderful for you. What a great feeling it must be in dealing with that. What a huge change for you, and it sounds like the better for you and your family. Even small changes are good for some, I know when I have to drive my kids to arenas in different cities, I know it doesn't sound like much, but when I get home, I feel, "WOW, I did it". Good for you dl, keep going :)
