Super Bowl

[Courage]

As I'm sure most of you have guessed or know, I simply didn't commit to my quit. Yesterday I finally got to the doctor since I got sick last week.  He was so angry with me, understood.  I made sure my husband went, it's only fair to him to have his say as he watches me kill myself. Came home by 9:00 and my husband and I threw out the cigarettes, except for one thing, the doctor forgot to give me antibiotics.  I'm so damn sick.... A non smoker would have probably been well over this by now....

Back to super bowl, we were supposed to go to my best friend's house who is a smoker.  I just called her and told her why I just can't do it, that I would probably cave and ask and she told me straight out she would have given me one which would only lead to more and more, so that's that. Although I'm not feeling well, we're going to friends who don't smoke.  I blog this while my son is in the garage smoking with my husband who is smoking a cigar, yet watching me like I'm doing something wrong.

Okay, I'm done throwing up verbally.  In the end, the choice is always ours...

Fannie,

This is your journey and you have to take it a day at a time.  I am glad you are not going to a smoker's house but I wonder if you shouldn't just get a cool mist vaporizer and set yourself up with a stack of pillows and lots of liquids to drink and not go anywhere, it sounds like you need to rest.

Your family is worried about you...it would be nice if they could quit as a "show of support" and then you could all be together in this, might not be a very friendly place for a while.

I love you, I want you to get stronger and to believe me that it DOES get easier.

This quit is YOURS and yours alone.  Don't worry about anyone else's.

You made a wise choice to watch the game at a non-smoker's house.  Good for you!

Feel better!

Nancy

Great choice!! Keep on keeping on!

[Courage]

I agree Witt you dear Ellen, however being here with a bunch of 20 year olds being loud and smoking doesn't sound very healing either, so I'll go out for a bit.

Thank you as always Miss Nancy

Love ya Ellen

Yeah! You made a choice for YOU today. Be proud.  Not to worry once you have your quit down you can start giving hubby a hard time about the cigars. Something to look forward to!

Focus 100% on yourself! You really need to take care of yourself, Fannie! That's the only way you'll feel better and have a chance of living quality Life!

I know you need to take care of you and the choice is always yours. Wise decision not to go where there is smoking, why tempt yourself. That will change further into your quit.

I'm proud of you.

Don't give in and don't give up...take care of yourself and I hope you're feeling better soon! N.O.P.E.

[NewMe]

Wise advice above. I am always really extra impressed with those who quit smoking even when their spouse or others in their house will not. Do whatever you have to do to protect your quit. Be strong. Hang in there. You are doing a great thing.

A red flag I see for you to overcome for sure: 

"I blog this while my son is in the garage smoking with my husband who is smoking a cigar, yet watching me like I'm doing something wrong."

In other words it tells me you are thinking/feeling, "Why do they GET to smoke & I don't?  It's just not fair!"

This thinking couldn't be farther from the truth but most of us surely DID feel that same way at one time until we really educated ourselves about nicotine addiction, understood it, and changed our perceptions on smoking.  I encourage you to spend some time reading at whyquit.com, etc. to help change your mindset to one of FREE CHOICE. 

You CAN do it and for all the right reasons too.  I'm cheering you on!  Patty
