One year ramble Part 5 - Positive Attitude (last one... I promise!)

Oh my goodness! What an absolute inspiration you are! I've printed all 5 parts of your one year wisdom and will carry them in my purse as a reminder of where I am and where I want to be.

Bursting with Happiness

Hi everybody! Well, I'm about one hour away from a successful day two and I could just about bust with happiness! I did my chores this morning but have spent the majority of the afternoon glued to the screen reading every post I could! I'm doing okay except for the extremely dry throat and a "spacey" feeling. I'm chugging the water, chewing sugarless gum and keeping busy doing anything I can! Except smoke. More than anything today, reading and self-talk have gotten me through! You are all a wealth of knowledge for me, thank you for having gone before me!

Forever or a day?

Penguin, I agree with you! One day I might be strong enough to say the "forever" word but at this point in my quit I'm sticking with "one day at a time" and when that's overwhelming I go with "one moment at a time."

Bursting with Happiness

Good morning! Thanks for asking, sillyme! Day 3 is looking pretty good! I'm sitting here reading posts, sweating like I've run a triathlon and my thoughts are really jumpy. You know like you're thinking about one thing but before you finish that thought, your brain has raced on to about two or three other things? I sure hope that's normal. Anyway, got my whole day planned out but I may have to add a couple of showers if this sweating doesn't stop soon! Do you think the sweating could be because I've been drinking so much water? Okay, can't concentrate well enough to explain it any better, please bear with me. I'll check in later but for now I'm here sweating and trying to catch up with my thoughts!

SSC instant messenger

Hi y'all, Last night I downloaded the IM and have logged in several times and there hasn't been anyone there when I log on. Am I trying at a bad time or do many just not use it? Am I doing something wrong? I followed the directions that were posted last night everything looks okay. Anyway, when is a good time to chat? Tonight's not all that great because Trick or Treat starts in 45 minutes, oh joy!
