A little post that I put in my blog, don't know how many read the blogs, so I am posting here:
I sat here and thought about the slip for a long time last night,
and what it almost cost me. A reset? Telling everyone I gave up?
Going back to the hell of smoking? I am not going to give up what I
started, having a couple of the hard days behind me. The hardest thing
to do is make a post that you slipped, and know you are letting people
down here that are giving you heartfelt encouragement.
So, a couple
new reasons not to have another smoke:
No "give up" posts to disappoint everyone
That slip was my final goodbye... from smoking.
Keep my quitting attitude going, I am on day 5... need to know in
my head that a slip was just that, and I have been and continue to work
at it.
Because I realize now you get cool little logos for milestones.
Hopefully everyone still sees my resolve in quitting. The one
thing that has stayed in my head was something that bobinsc wrote to me
that this is my quit, and that it could be seen in my resolve. I hope
so. I slipped on day 4 and week 3 on my first quit that lasted for 2
years. This time, I am taking out the slip on week 3, and this will be
my last quit that lasts forever.
I may have lost this round, but I am going to win the war!
