Happy Monday to me!!! Made it through Hell Week, starting Heck Week with a positive, "can do it" attitude. Nothing can scare me more than the weekends though. When I'm at work, between the usual workload and the home front with kids, dinner, dog and stuff, I can handle the withdrawal WAY better than over the weekend. And when you add lousy weather into the picture... yuck, let me tell you it was not a pretty sight. I was cranky and edgy... Let's put it this way - b$%&@ is an understatement
. On my way to work today I was thinking that this whole quitting process is quite a character builder - it takes discipline, sticking to a routine and a lot of determination. I know it sounds whiny, I know it is a bad habit, I know all the benefits of quitting... Still, the nicodemon (love this word) is lurking and teasing at any giving moment... Not giving in, not planning to, not even finding excuses why I might... One day at a time, one moment at a time. I love the stats, I love the challenge. But I m the first to admit that it takes up -almost- all my energy to keep alert. I am sure we all went through the motions, more or less in the same way. And seeing the stats for some of you guys it's what makes it easier for me: "If they can do it, so can I!!!" If I say that long enough, through a craving, I WILL make it happen.
I still have problems with my bowel movement, I am still "hungry" at all times... I know these are side effects that will subside at one point. I am still on my exercise/diet routine, and that makes it maybe a bit harder... But I WILL make it. I am more determined than a week ago. And hopefully, I'll keep my determination throughout the days/weeks/months/years to come. But for now, I am grateful to have your support, my online friends.
. I like seeing my name on that list - another pat on the back for good behaviour 
... that sounds geeky I know... oh well!
