The Journey... Mood

Thursday, May 22, 2008

Well this week I've learned that I'm still vulnerable ...

I've always been strong the first week and a bit of stopping smoking, it is week 2 and 3 that are the biggest challenge. I've never made it beyond week 3 to know what happens. Last week, I had a bit too much to drnk and I completely lost self control. I had lasted 12 days, and yet the sweet taste of Australian red wine almost ended it all.

I was at the point where I could smell flowers in the air... flowers that were 50 feet away! I can't remember knowing such simple pleasures.

I don't want to go on and on because I don't honestly know what the week ahead holds. What I do know though is that this is a wonderful site. not smoking is a blessing, and we have so much to learn about ourselves it isn't even funny.

For another week... stay stong. God bless... and do this for you.

Hi Jason, How is it all going? Are you using anything to help you quit? I am going to try to quit again, have heard positive results with Chantix. Might go visit the dr and see what he says. Anyway I hope you are doing well. HUGS, Kellie xxx

I don't know maybe 50' is a tiny bit exaggerated... I was driving down a side street and the only flowers in sight was a tree quit a ways away... I just guestimated 50' :) Either way it's a beautiful thing and I'm just so happy I quit smoking! It seems to be getting easier now!
