Messed up again

Hi Talulha. You have a really pretty name. :) I'm glad to hear that your surgery went well and that you're fine. What amazes me as a newbie is how much you vets go through and still stay quit.I really look up to you guys.

I went through Hell while quitting, and I don't ever want to do it again. I've quit other things and left people who were toxic...over time, the memories of how bad it was fade...and then the "good" times start flooding back.

They're NOT good times.

When I feel physically sick, I also feel vulnerable. That's when I crave my former "security blanket" more than any other time. I've learned to reach out to friends, actually talk to people on the phone or in person...anything to remind myself that I'm not alone. That I am strong, no matter how fragile I might feel.

And occasionally, I pamper myself like I'm a hurt kid...and I cry, cry, cry until it all washes out.

Please stay quit.

hell week is over!

Marbles, congratulations!

May you always remember Hell week. I consider it "aversion therapy" now that I've gone over a month. Every time I see an advertisement or other trigger for the darn things, I think to myself, "Really? Do I want to go through that again?" And the answer always is, "'Hell' NO."

I like straws, too. And I like pens. They're soothing. Instead of letting pens be a trigger to me, I find comfort in them now. They're something familiar. And if I happen to get a craving while holding one, I literally break out a piece of paper and write down "HELL NO" in memory of my first week. NOPE, never again, tyvm!

Stay the course!

Why I am glad I didn?t smoke today!

I'm glad I didn't smoke today because I was able to walk in the woods for over an hour and a half without feeling like I was going to keel over and die! (Am I technically a hiker now?) I could smell the fresh air, the budding plants, the earth, and the crystal clear waterfalls. It was awesome. I always loved the woods, and now I get to enjoy them so much more.

Aloha and Penitent, thank you for sharing your progress. I'm the same way--5 minutes of walking used to be all I could handle. So my recent lung-power is a huge surprise to me. I would love to jog in those woods. So I'm gonna keep returning to your posts for inspiration.

Brenda, how are your sinuses?

LOL Shevie you made my 3/8 and 3/11. So true.

Mmmmwah!
