Cheryl�s words:
The beginning: �I'm not very good at computer stuff. I'm not even sure if this is how you communicate with each other. But I'm going to try it. As you can probably see, I haven't reached my quit date yet. I have set one, and as it draws nearer, I am getting nervous! Anybody have any ideas? I don't want to chicken out of this.�
Day 361: � When I quit on July 4, 2005, I spent the day with my family doing picnic and fireworks and all those things. And noone even noticed that I didn't smoke. I wanted them to notice on their own. I got through those early days one minute at a time. With cinnamon sticks, and water, and breathing, and a yoyo. And the excitement of maybe getting it this time helped to carry me.
I met people here. Ones that would talk to me whenever I showed up. I finally had a support group that could support when I needed it. I work strange hours and days and that was always my excuse for not reaching out. That noone could be available the hours that I needed them. But I was wrong. The people here are just that. They are here. Whenever you stop by.
Over the last year, some of these people have become my friends. I have more friends here than in my real life. But I am starting to make friends on the outside. ANd do things that I always hid from.
I just want to thank all of you. May your journey continue through your life, may you always find a friend when you need one, may your faith set your spirit free at last.
Call if you need me, I hope that I am here when you do. ANd I promise to always take the time to listen, even if I can't fix it. With tears of Joy and a heart full of gladness. . . �
No Joking, I'm Still Not Smoking!
