Hey Babs,
Another star for you, you made it through another difficult day. And yes it does hurt when your family doesn't support you.
Babs, just look at your stats, wow 25 days that is so tremendous. I hope by now you are all snuggled up in bed and fast asleep. Get all the rest that you can get. Got to keep that energy level up. You will start having some good days soon.
Babs, I guess I am so blessed, my whole family supports me and are so thankful that I have quit. I'm sorry that you had to leave the banquet, but you did the right thing by removing yourself from the situation. Anger, is a hard thing to deal with, I still have some of the anger left. I just try to gentle it down and replace it with more love. Of all people you wanted encouragement from was your Mother. She will come around, just wait and see. Babs its not okay, they should be so proud of you. I'm glad that you have let it go.
Babs, I don't know if there hasn't been a day that I haven't thought of a cigarette, in some shape or form. But its not cravings. Its just a passing thought, like I will see someone smoking, of course I'm going to thing of smoking, but I don't. When I go to the grocery store, you think I don't look toward the cigarettes, of course I do, and they just keep getting higher, and higher. And I say wow, glad I don't have to spend $30 for those this week.
Babs, I don't remember if I told you or not but I smoked for 50+ years, and if i can quit anyone can. We each grow differently. And I was lucky that I could use the patch. I don't know what HELL WEEK IS. Then I read that other people on the patch is having the same cravings as people are having going cold turkey. That is what I don't understand. I wore the patch for 70 day, took it off and I had small cravings but nothing I couldn't handle. But that doesn't mean I don't think of them because I do. Every time I get in the car, I automatically think of a cigarette. I guess I smoked a lot while in the car.
Don't you just love the way you smell, and your clothes smell so fresh. And best of all your home, I love that fresh clean smell.
I am so proud of you Babs, and glad you are home and safe. Yes, you sure have had some tests, but you have passed them all. Your SSC family is always here t
