Hello everyone, and Happy New Year!
I'm back again after realizing that if not for my stupid, idiotic, "slip", I'd be at one year quit tomorrow! Do you know how absolutely frustrating that is? I had over 100 + days under my belt when I "slipped", and of course I justified it with an excuse (the reason isn't really important). Anyway, both my husband and I are determined to quit and stay quit for good! I plan to be here as much as possible during hell week. Once I get past that, the rest of it goes pretty smoothly. I have all my tools in place and have gone since 10:00 last night with no cigarettes...so far I've not killed (or even injured) anyone or anything...so far so good!
So...tick tock...the clock goes on and on...I wait patiently for the next 7 days to be over with. For me, those were the worst...after those are over, I feel SO much better!
My mood seems to be ok so far...a little testy at my coworker (but this person just grates on my last nerve to begin with; so that doesn't help) but I'm working on it.
I'm doing my deep breathing, sucking on a straw that's the size and shape of a cig and drinking lots of water.
Thanks for being here and I welcome any and all comments!
Janet
