Hello and good morning everyone. Still not smoking, and still loving it.
Last evening was tough, I had the biggest crave so far so I called on my daughter for some help. She's 15 and she was right there for me. Now understand, I was home, and there are no smokes there at all, so there was no danger of me smoking, BUT, I wanted to destress a bit so she had a great suggestion...
Let's play Guitar Hero!
I tell you what, in less than 5 minutes I had completely forgotten about the crave and was a Rock Star! That game is a bit of fun. If you haven't tried it, and there's one around, I strongly suggest it.
Two things I took away from this experience. Number one and probably the most important, shout for help when you think you need it. People respond and they give you their strength. Number two - get busy. It doesn't have to be constructive, just get your mind on something else. The crave is a momentary thing. The smokes cause permanent damage.
I'm too smart to solve a temporary problem with a permanent fix!
Today will be a fun one, my boss in in from corporate. He's a smoker and it's customary for him and I to go have a smoke and talk business. I'll go but I won't smoke. I promise you all that, and I will stand by my word, so no worries. I'll let you know how it goes.
Have a great day everyone.
Bon Courage!!!!
