Chore #7 Breath easy, Pat myself on the back, plan for another wonderfully successful day tomorrow.
I'm a WEEK QUITTER today and am a bit surprised I'm still having a hard time focusing and unable to use my freedom time towards productive activities.
I did sweep my chimney yesterday, cleaned out the fireplace and smoke chamber....... AND MY WIFE is on day 2 smoke free. She's fragile, stubborn about doing it her way, ready to break every minute. I cannot suggest this site (already have) to her because I say "white" and she hears "black". BUT as I absorb from this site, Like rain, persuasion should be soft and gentle to nourish the plant not harsh and heavy as to destroy and wash away the roots.
I took liberty with "Dancingthrulife's" poem she had posted on an earlier blog. I really like it as I have the sensitivity of a bull dozer by nature. I also mimicked several other comments and facts the EX community has shared with me and they did help her make it another hour, 2 .3 . 4 etc.
It was my wife's idea to quit smoking and she's using chantix and I wasn't really ready to quit, but as the bag of tabacco and box of tubes dwindled, I made the choice and now am glad of it.
So, back to the chores: In the beginning... Backlog of officework...... Crippled smokefree efforts ........ Well, It's piling up again but now it's only one week and it's now or never. One Day Smokefree Doing *&#@!& Officework!
7 days clean. It feels good.
