WooHoo!!!
It's amazing how much easier it seems to be with each passing day. I'm so proud of the fact that I have stuck with it. My 6yr old daughter told me last night that she is sooo happy that her mommy doesn't smoke anymore, my heart swelled & I almost cried. The cravings have finally subsided, I actually was able to stand outside & have a conversation with a friend who still smokes & not really want one. That was weird! (but in a good way) Stress is still difficult but manageable. My husband is also still smoking & he was no help or support until I had a conversation with his Mom... Let's just say she set him straight... Ha Ha Ha . I have also found that the more I say or tell other people "I quit smoking" more people seem to want to have a conversation with me. Sometimes it's about how hard it is to give up an addiction or how they sympathize with someone who is truly making the effort to change their lives for the better. The conversation seems to always end with a positive note, so I'm left patting myself on the back. I believe there are angels among us, they seem to show up when we need a boost. These strangers & conversations truly do help. I have 4 kids & a husband who can be a pain when he chooses to be. So stress was a major obstacle for me, however I'm still staying strong, & everyones support has helped me in so many ways. I just want to remember to say THANK YOU!
To all those who are trying, DO NOT GIVE UP, IT IS WORTH THE FIGHT.
