I have mad an accomplishment today. My sister asked me to get her a pack of cigarettes I didnt want to cuz i knew i might be tempted to buy myself a pack. But i went to the store cussing her out the whole time and bought her a pack. I talked to myself not to open her pack and smoke it. (I hope the driver next to me didnt see me talking he proably thought i was nuts lol) So for me that was really hard and then i was so proud of myself but then tonight my craving got a little stronger but i been fighting them off with all i have. 13 years of smoking wich is half my life i dont want it to controll me anymore.

I had some strong cravings this evening. My husband left his cigarettes out on the table next to me i wouldnt even look at them. I knew they were right there and my craving became sronger and stronger. I told my son to put the pack of cigarettes on my husband dresser so they wouldnt temp me. But my cravings today just seem like they wont go away. Its like i have the good angel and the devil on my shoulder telling me to smoke and the other telling me dont destroy all that you accomplished you can do just stay focused. Still smoke free but i afraid i be fighting off this urge for the rest of my life. My sister quite for 1 year and then she got into a car accident and she been smoking a pack a day now for almost a year. I just keep focusing on the future i have with my kids and i try to look up all the pics of smokers long to help keep me focused. My fear is going back to smoking one day please tell me it gets easier

I got on the scale and wanted to cry. I gained a total of 7 pounds maybe less but i am at the number on the scale i dont want to see. I was tempted to go back to smoking just because i was at that weight on the scale I had the cigarette in my hand and ready to light it and my son said smoking wont solve it. I been saying all week smoking wont solve the situation. So i knew if i puff on that cigarette i wont magically loose the weight. And i can imagine myself in my 60s laying on my death bed dying of lung cancer thinking why did i go back to smoking over a couple of pounds. So here i am still smoke free couple of pounds more. But i been walking to the park with my kids and at night i do this 20 min turbo workout. I feel good about exercising and i get my endophins in

Wow i didnt have one craving today. It's proable because i got my last wisdom tooth pulled today and i been in pain. But i would usually smoke right after i would get my wisdom tooth pulled even that would of been so risky of infection. It just felt good when i was filling out my paperwork i marked non smoker.

It's OK i know its gross pic i should of considered people with weak stomach. I even read somwhere they might put pics like that on cigarette packs. My dad was 5ft 8 and in the last weeks of his life he was maybe 80 pounds maybe less he wasnt able to get out of bed. And i remember i usto say i dont want to die skinny like that i usto say i rather be smoking then be fat but i know that was the junkie talking. My kids would love just to have me around they wouldnt care if i was skinny or fat as long as i was alive.
