I PROMISE

I promise not to smoke this weekend. I hold my hand out to the next person. Phil, I would love to fly over to Spain and hold your hand :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]9/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 13 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 195 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $117.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

Tonight I am suppose to go to a stagette. Have a few drinks, hang out with the girls and celebrate that one of us is getting married. I don't get out much. With a husband, kids and a full time job, I never have time for myself. Anyways, I'm not going and I am SO pissed about it. The reason I am not going out and celebrating? You guessed it, because of nicotine. I do not trust myself not to smoke. It's only been 2 weeks of not smoking. Compare that to 20 years of smoking, I have an uphill battle without going out to a party. Ugh, it is so frustrating. I am SO angry that I can't enjoy a night out with friends because of my addiction. Hopefully in the future I will be able to enjoy a night out on the town and not be scared to death of having a drag of a smoke. GGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Sue :) I did read the post by Joe Cool. 21 years old, couldn't even imagine. My husband knew I wouldn't be going out tonight, so he brought home a dairy queen ice cream cake with a "no smoking sign" and the word congrats on it. So, that will be my treat :), errr not the WHOLE thing, just a piece lol. Even though he has no clue what being an addict is like , he is trying his hardest to be supportive of me.

Lainey, Take any chance you can get to have the remote! lol. My hubby knows he scored big on the brownie points when he saw the smile on my face! As far as going out tonight, I just wouldn't trust myself period right now. I'm lucky that the girl that is getting married understands my situation and isn't really upset with me for not going. She is a nurse and has been bugging me to quit smoking. She sees first hand the horror that smoking does to a body.
