Tough days are tough

I responded to another blog today. A gal had a tough day due to her young child. I could relate. I remember those days..they were hard at times. ((I miss those days now that they are long gone and my babies are grown up! ))

I am glad I read her blog. It reminded of a lot of things. A hundred other stresses that I have had that made me smoke. 

Stress happens. Always will. I don't live in a fairy tale and never will. There are plenty more bad days coming. My parents are both having seriouse health issues. My son is a mess. My job stresses me out. I have debt. Ect ect

Stress always gave me an excuse to smoke. But the smoking never made the problem go away. I can't think of one way that a cig helped. Taking a moment to get away and think might of helped. But I could of did that without a cig. That is how I will do it from now on. Just take a moment or two or however long, but without a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. No matter what it is. Not even a puf.

NOPE!!
