The journey of the smoking man has been anything but a straight path.It has been full of fear of leaving my smokes and breaking up.Planning and then taken action..The sucess of being smoke free is awesome to a heavy smoker like i was.However the crash of relapse was just as great of a serious depression.The lust i have for smoking is what make me the smoking man and then the start over is even tougher when you fail..So in the journey of living with out my smokes i have learned alot about myse…

ITS MY BIRTHDAY AND I CAN DANCE IF I WANT TOO, DANCE IF I WANT TOO, NO SHORTNESS OF BREATHE IS HAPPENING TO ME!!!! LA LA LA LA LA!
ITS BEEN 15 YEARS SINCE I HAD A BIRTHDAY WITHOUT A PUFF.
63 DAYS SINCE MY LAST PUFF!!!!!!!
Confrontation is my, ( I shouldn't have to go there with you, you should have known) fear. I hate to say it but I think that I consider other b4 myself. But I have learned that I don't, I learned that I have to consider myself first even if it is by nature, knowing or not knowing. I smoked sometimes because it help me deal with things or people or situations or decisions and etc. that I didnot want to deal with. I know that Im not alone with not wanting to deal with unpleasent things or things that may change me when I'm not ready to change. I have accepted that smoking or overeating is not the answer and I have learned to be patient with myself and others. no matter how hard it is, because I need patience from others so badly now. I don't know how long this way of dealing with confrontation will be a notice to me, but I long for the day when it becomes like setting next to a person with a smoke in there hand doesn't bother me, just the smell from the lit smokes bother me. I want to tell people that I learned how to stop smoking and its can be done, but you the smoker got to want to realy quit and be willing to tell that urge that you have made your mind up to stop smoking. The urges are there as reminders that you still have not fullfilled your life with all that makes you complete. I thank all of you for being apart of my quit.
How tough are ya.....< grin > I bet you are tough enough to fight off and dunk the cancer sticks to yesterday..if not maybe I can help you get tougher and succeed in this goal.

My weight is my next task, I joined family fitness, I'll start with or without my husband. I have a dependancy issue when it come to starting thing with others, I want them to be there for me and me for them, but since I had to do the work to quit smoking, I'm hoping I have the confidence to do the work to loss some weight. I had a lot of urges yesterday to smoke, but I resisted the urges and did not take a puff. I'm getting lot of support and I thank everybody for helping me.
