Can it be true? Is hell week finally over? I have to admit that I haven't had severe cravings in the past few days. Now it's the obsession. I treasure the few minutes here and there when I am so focused on something that I am not thinking of the evil things. I know the future brings longer periods of time when I won't think of them and that is what I tell myself when I'm feeling overwhelmed. I always thought of cigs when I was smoking too. I either wanted one, was smoking one or had just put one out. I need to remind myself that that was over-whelming.
I have ate a huge amount of sweets the past week. I allowed myself to do that for the 1st week because I have had such a huge craving for sugary things. I think that has more to do with quitting my dailing drinking than cigs. I just knew I had gained 5#. I got on the scale this morning as my week is up and now I am determined to eat healthy and I had actually lost a #. God is good.
I learn something new or am reminded of something I had forgot every time I get on this site and read blogs. That is why it is so important to get on here every day @ least once. Plus I am so impressed about how so many of our elders have maintained their quits through the worst of circumstances. Over and above the discomfort of quitting. I do tell myself if you guys can quit forever than I certainly can too.
Have a great day my EX family!
Connie
