Good Morning All,
Thank you for all for posting. 1 Day down. It went better then I hope for. I stayed very busy. I went to the bookstore and bought Allen Carr�s book on stop smoking (I�ll start reading it today) and then took my 4 year old to the park to play. Then we met my husband for a late lunch. What I notice my 1st time I tried to quit is I didn�t keep busy and that is when I had the hardest time. So this time around I made a list of things to do to keep me busy until my husband gets off work. For me the hardest is time is when I�m alone. I don�t have many friends and they ones I do have all smoke and I�m not ready to be around smokers yet so that makes it kind of tough. My son was my biggest supporter, but he just graduated from collage and got a job in Calif. and moved there last week, that has been hard, I miss him. I did all the exercises in my Glove Compartment, I learned a lot and it was very helpful. I also started a journal of all the reasons I need to quit, and when it gets hard I right down all my thoughts. My mind can play so many tricks that if it is not on paper it is so easy for me to lose my way. I was reading another post and Adam had said �I cannot distinguish between what's junky thinking and what's reasonable thinking.� And I can relate to that, so before it starts I thought I better have a plan this time, so I started a journal of thoughts. Well, I better get off, mornings are the hardest time for me and I need to go and get busy. I will drop in later.
Wishing everyone a GREAT Day!
