Good Morning Mama,
I failed to last Wednesday, bought a pack, smoked two of them and then soaked them in water and through them away. I didn't restart my meter but when I look at it I subtract the two that I smoked. This isn't the first time I screwed up while trying to quit...the first time I know I smoked over two cigarettes while trying to quit and I quit for seven months...God only knows why I picked those buggers back up. Try going to the mall...today I am going with my non-smoking friend and have a pedicure and lunch...yesterday I spent the day in the mall and spent about $400 in clothes that I really can't afford, but it kept my mind off the cigarettes and I had a bunch of hard candy and a bottle of water with me. Then my hubby and I went to dinner with our non-smoking neighbors. My hubby's family all smokes, except his Mom who was diagnosed with COPD and put them down over a year and a half. I don't want to be diagnosed in the future with COPD, she is a good example. Tomorrow morning at 6:30 will be a whole week for me, I FEEL REAL GOOD ABOUT THAT! People say to put your mind on something else, that is hard to do when the craving is sooooo strong. Cry, throw things, scream...whatever helps do it. If your daughter is smoking in the house, tell her NO MORE. Put signs up, if she loves you enough she will remove the urge from you. Hope things look up today for you, get out of the house and go somewhere that is smoke free...movie, shopping mall anything, but stay away from the smoke. Listen to me, the failure from Wednesday. You gave me a reason to feel positive this morning, I woke up craving bad this morning, but I took my shower, put on my new patch and finished a movie that took me three days to watch!! You can do this Mama, I can do this Mama and we all can do this.
