Went to bed last night with strong cravings to smoke. Haha Bonnie never thought I would pull off Scarlet O"Hara lol Made me laugh when I read that. Was so tired and sleepy last night. I reread my blog and noticed I didn't quite finish it as I was falling asleep while writing it but was determined that I was going to blast out the good news before I went to bed. Got up today, wow no urges. Back to myself not feely edgy and ansty like I was last night. Have had a great day so far no cravings. My neighbor offered for me to come over to swim with them and a couple who lives next door to them and they all are smokers. I politely declined as I didn't feel like I was up to another challenge just yet. I know its something I eventually have to deal with and say so what they smoke and I don't do that anymore, but think I will wait till I get more confidence and time in the non smoking me. I am glad too Nancy that I asked advice. I do take heed to the advice given to me whether it be good or in tough love. I do really appreciate all of you for taking my hand and guiding me to the nonsmoking life and be supportive. Support is something I have not had before and it seems more doable since I don't feel like I am all alone. Truthfully, I have not told too many people that I was trying to quit smoking including my hubby who was very crictal and believe I need to just put them and and forget them, but he has always been a nonsmoker and don't understand the addiction, because I was afraid of failure again. As of today he has not noticed or acknowledge that I quit smoking. Oh well enough rambling, the most important is that I am quitting for myself and proud of my accomplishment of getting this far and glad and thankful I have you all to whine on your shoulders. Half way through day 17 and still feeling good. As Bonnie says I will carry on now since I know I am on my way to another day won.
