YAWN. Yep......... thats me. But its ok. We had company tonight. I had one glass of wine..... no cravings to speak of. Husband's cigar smoke kept getting in my face....... cigar smoking is "OK" because HE doesnt inhale, you see. :::::::rolling eyes::::::: . What ever. I dont think anyone who smokes... needs to be told its bad for them. They know it. I know it. Husband quit smoking 12 years ago and has never smoked a cigarette since. How he smokes cigars..... and thats it... who knows. I just know I can't. I am putting day 17 to rest. Its been a good day... a thoughtful day. Everytime I felt a craving... I inhaled deeply and held it for a few seconds..... then exhaled. I thought to myself how good it felt to breathe like that and feel the calming effect.
Now that the 'panic' of not smoking is gone.... I can actually take time to think about what I am feeling. I am seeing things clearly and I am finding that facing my feelings about smoking head on is working for me. Everyday.... for the rest of my life...... I will have gratitude that I was able to quit smoking..... With a little determination... and a lot of help from my friends here. Gratitude for all of you also. Everyday. For the rest of my life. ♥
