today in Greece...

Hello there, well,i'm trying to have positive attitude in general. But this one i really want to fight it. We all have our ups and downs during each day. So,i don't want anymore to light a cig when i'm sad,angry or even happy. I had bad day two days ago...but lighting one up was not going to solve my problem.I DO thinking light one up..i've told you. I want.. but i know it will Just make my throat and stomach worse!! I REALLY REALLY like that my hair and clothes don't smell like an ashtray anymore!!

i'm sorry...

i was trying for more than 2 hours to get on the net...i was in crisis... and i did it... i had just one puff.Only one was enough to make me sick in the stomach and more important sick with myself..i got disgusted and threw it away. Telling you that a phone call made me nervous is not an excuse. But i couldn't talk to you. I didn't want to do nothing.No deep breathes,no walking around,no water..nothing helped. i'm sorry..i feel angry,disappointed,sad...i'm ashamed to tell you but you need to know... I'm sorry ... i feel a failure...

i'm sorry...

Thank you all guys! I need your support so much because I still feel very bad. No, i didn't go to buy cigs. Mom left them here.. and even though i was among people with cigs the last days,don't know what got into me today. Anyway,all my friends know that i am trying to quit.They're all supportive. My best friend told me that even if i ask,she won't give me! :) Today i saw the free days some of you have and i thought..oh my God i will never arrive there! But then i went to the gym..worked out for a couple of hours,then met some friends and i said,why not? I will do it!! I told mom not to leave them around... if this will be a little help. I take today as my quit date and start all over again! It felt great all these days no matter what!! And i want my internet connection back.It makes me nervous!! Thank you all !! it's almost midnight in Greece...time to rest!!

this weekend....

i smelled the sea...the iodine of the sea... the country... I swam better..didn't got tired..enjoyed the sun..didn't destroy my mouth with the taste of a cig... it was not so easy,i must say... but most of my friends are non smokers... i had my drinks,my coffee but i stayed smoke free. And it's nice to hear from people around you-smokers and non smokers-that you are doing a great job. However,i don't know if it's because i don't smoke..i feel a little sad..not thinking that i want to smoke and i don't... but these last 2-3 days were really hard for me (psycologically)!! :confuse: New week started! Are we all here? :p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/19/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 7 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 71 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �19.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 14 [B]Seconds:[/B] 2

this weekend....

Thank you all for your support!! It's sure not easy.. and there are moments difficult.. but you know something? tonight i went for a drink with some friends...none of them smokes!! It only crossed my mind for a while.. but i didn't think to go and buy cigarettes even if it was so easy to get up-the store was 10steps away. Being with people who don't smoke is so much easier!! But the feeling that you don't smell like an ashtray is much better! thank you all... it's 23.30 and i won't have internet at work for a few days... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/19/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 7 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 77 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �19.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54

The weekend was a total disaster

sometimes it just feels that everything happens at the same time..and yes,it is... but you know something? Menopause is something that you can't change..you husband has to support you and if he can't just avoid arguing..you daugther decided to go away and stand on her feet... and the story goes on..and we will always have stories to go on. I'm sorry if i'm a little hard and maybe i'm too young to understand somethings..but what about YOU? this is something for YOU!! Try to put everyone and everything where it belongs and start over!! Lighting one up never changed/solved/helped our problems...no? Next time you will be ready to light one..come here! A LOT of support! And A LOT OF INTEREST! there's always someone to talk to.... Stay close!!
