Hello all - I haven't been on here in awhile - for alot of reasons - but ...... I am still smoke free!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Oh - yes - the cravings seem to get me a little more frequently lately. Don't know why. It seems that they appear out of nowhere - without warning. Sometimes this is a little discouraging and it makes me think that it is getting harder instead of easier!!
But then, I just say - NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ride it through!
I am also coming off of the antidepressant that I was taking and am having horrible side effects there.
Beside all of that - am trying to lose the weight I gained from the above pill!!!!
Got a great laugh from my friends the other day when I said ...... " I am so stressed right now that if I smoked I would light one up - but guess what - I don't smoke! " The laughter because of the way it came out - all without thinking eased my stress - and when i thought of it - I decided to use that line as much as I can whenever I feel the need to puff.
A strange thing though that has me completely perplexed....... My brother-in-law who has smoked for over 50 yrs is smoke free for 18 months. Not by choice - but because of a life and death situation regarding his heart. He still does not consider himself a success story! He says that he is not thoroughly convinced that he will stay smoke free..... and ..... he tells me that I was stupid for quitting without a reason! .... As a matter of fact, he told me the other day when i was having a crave - ".... oh - go ahead - light one up........ just do it instead of talking about wanting it - just do it !!!!!! "
Can you imagine?????? Anyway - I am smoke free still - and proud to say it! Yes I am!
Hang in there all of you - we are as one in this quest. Thank you for all of the support. 🙂
