Obviously I am strecthing this thing out, but my birthday April 1st will be my last pack!  It's my birthday, I will not torture myself  with good gumbo, adult beverages and no cigarettes.  Yes I said it!  My mind is made up.  I thank all of you that posted tips and encouragement and I plan on using all of them.  I've always thought of this demon as "Mind over matter"   

Being a 9-1-1 operator and dispatcher is stressful and yesterday was one of those days!  I felt my blood pressure literally rising.  All warm around the shoulder area.  Uggg.  I immediately voiced outloud that I NEED a cigarette!  HMPH....oh well don't know what I will do with myself from now on when we get those calls.  I guess I'll try some breathing techniques.  And it takes ALOT to get my blood to boil, so I know this lady had pushed some buttons.  Like Joyce Meyers and all the rest of them say...."push through it!"

 

Happy Thursday! (it happens to be my Friday!) Glory!
