Struggling,
Great job on 8 DAYS! Tomorrow will be 9, then 10 and two weeks will be here before you know it.
It's time to shake up the strategy a bit. Rent a movie (or a dozen), get some chicken soup, some herbal tea, get your favorite slippers and spoil yourself. Let your body recover and let this be your first cold WITHOUT cigarettes!
Hopefully you rewarded yourself for your first week's accomplishment. If not, you could shop online for a fantastic gift worth about $50 since you have saved that much already. Also, you have NOT smoked 211 cigarettes which is OVER a carton. Amazing.
Also, I propose a new screen name. Having everyone call you Struggling and identifying yourself that way can't help. How about:
Struggles No More
Struggled
No Struggle
Me, Struggle?
Overcame
Ex-Smoker
Ok, that was too much but you get the idea. And actually once you make it through this you will be creating positive reinforcement because you can always look back and remember how hard Day 8 was...but you made it through. ;)
Be Blessed
Sandra
