Good for you Sparky. You should feel extremely proud of yourself, you have been through a lot and you have remained smoke free. I think it's time for a reward...!
Well it has been one heck of a week. Brother-in-law passing and the stress of the funeral and trying to help my sister-in-law through it. All said and done everything went well. Lots of people and that is always nice to see. He was gentle soul (would never have told him that) and it reflected with all the people there.
It also was interesting, that I was placed in places where there was nothing but smoking going on. In the pass that would have been one great excuse to smoke. You know the reasons. But the desire to smoke or even to have one was not an issue at the time. I was also grateful that I wasn't, because at the church and funeral home they had to go out and smoke and it was so cold and windy. But there were times I did exactly that. I want to remember the stinking smell on the clothes. I want to remember that I can smell that way anytime I choose to smoke.
So you see you can go through hard times and come through it smoke free. Now with that being said I am also at a point in my quit that I know the chatter and complacency will be trying to check in. I promised myself and others I would reach out when the stinking thinking started to appear. It is in the slow and "is this all there is" times that the chatter becomes loud. So far I have been able to talk myself out of the negative chatter and move forward. Thanks everyone.
Keep the Quit
Sparky
