I feel so very silly right now. I have spent the last hour crying over the SSC. Admittedly, I have been a bit emotional the last few days with/without controversy. I spent the New Year watching 'The Prince and I', followed by 'Lassie' with my 10 year old and we both cried like babies! LOL
At 115 days, last night, and again today, I have been thinking more of smoking/quitting than I have in quite awhile. I've been staying real close to that 10 year old, who keeps me honest :)
I figure quitting smoking is my New Years resolution (Since I have a 115 days head-start, LOL). Really need to lose a little weight also, so I guess (RELUCTANTLY) I'll visit the weight loss forum (GROAN!!!)
Why the tears? You guys have been such a strength for me throughout my quit, and I truly HATE to see people at odds on this site! Let's recognise that everyone is different. From different cultures and backgrounds, etc... I have slipped numerous times myself. Sometimes I reset my meter, sometimes I did not...I WILL tell you that my meter is correct today (**proudly boasting**). A slip is not the end. Nor is a full relapse. I have learned something new every time. In fact---I would not have 115 days today if I had NOT slipped a few times. I NEEDED those slips ( I hope that makes sense...)
Some people WANT to analyze and dwell on WHAT went wrong....
Others KNOW what the problem is and want to let by gones be by gones...
Some reset their meters, some do not (I hope those in full relapse do---but they aren't fooling themselves, are they? And that is what counts.)
I love you guys..........let's get on with quitting, shall we?
