As A Couple (My Husband and I, 2 Days no smoking wow!!!

Just wanted to share my :couple: experience... don't let the other one allow a cave in!  it is easier to accept a crave and give in if the other wants it too... don't justify the other partner giving in...keep strong for each other!

it feels sooo good!

kaiser samantha...hahaha maybe too good!  i think i've spent all the $ ive saved hahaha!  but yeah rewarding and praising myself taking mental breaks cause that is what gets me through the work stress... i'm also evaluating myself and really trying to sink in the reasons why i decided to quit...it feels good to finally be proud instead of fighting the addiction I actually feel sorry for smokers i see on the sidewalks of NYC... and in my neighborhood it is alot ha!!!
i actually find pitty in people who can't let go, only cause now i have and i know how good it feels!
- now starting to workout (those 9lbs i gained gotta go haha!) but daily i chime in here and make sure that i know why i'm doing this, it's a daily thing to never drop my guard but it's getting easier to do!  i keep making sure that i know that there is NO going back... this is my new life

Dreaming about smoking

OMG... finally hahaha
i had my first smoking dreams last night... strangely (maybe cause it's 40 days now???) i had nightmare of a different kind...
i was digging through piles of butts looking for something, i was running away from smokers cause it was so gross!  it was thrilling when i woke up and realized my self conscience was telling me to keep going!  I hope yours does too!

so sorry

well... i was doing amazing and i was even a bit cocky... then last night the demon got me.  I felt horrible, i recognized the reason... i was too lazy to fight.  i was tired of seeing other that i smoked with just getting to do what they wanted.  so i did what i wanted.  in other words, i gave up on myself.
 
the good news is i feel like and ass today!  i have decided to not remove my current meter since i need the fact that i made it this far to keep going. 
 
I felt as if i had it down that i was golden and good to go.  i had been to parties before, i had had drinks no biggie... but last night i choose not to be there for me.   i have to admit that i felt this desire to be perfect that i was perfect and when we cheat we are no longer perfect... but i will not let that be the case here.  i was doing awesome and i still am...my god i made it longer than i ever have before!!! so i will keep going and remember what happen last night- hold last night's slip tight...  part of me didn't want to tell any one here- but i knew if there is one place that should know it's here on the scc..so i can get your support as well as be a tool to other about this...even when you are feeling confident remember you have to keep fighting... ever day. 
 
so i want to apologize and ask your forgiveness but i am not going to beat myself up, it will only cause more defeat...and i am here to win :)
sorry and thank you...
