Made it through Hell Week

15 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2778

Hey Cristina!!!

Congrats on making it through Hell Week!!! Heck week is going to be tough, too, but not as bad, if you do not let it be as bad! Just keep taking it one minute at a time and keep telling yourself that you are NOT going to lose any battles to the nico-demon! Keep up that Positive Mental Attitude, buddy!!! No "hopefully" in the vocabulary... just YES I CAN!!!

Keep on kicking ash!!!

Jim

Christina, CONGRATULATIONS on surviving Hell Week! I hope you have a nice reward planned to celebrate! It really is truth in advertising! Hell Week is Hell. Heck Week is a little bit better, then you get into the BLAH weeks. Try to keep this same level of excitement and determination, wake up each morning and say N.O.P.E.!!! Just remember that these temporary inconveniences you are experiencing will yield a HUGE permanent improvement!

Happy Monday to me!!! Made it through Hell Week, starting Heck Week with a positive, "can do it" attitude. Nothing can scare me more than the weekends though. When I'm at work, between the usual workload and the home front with kids, dinner, dog and stuff, I can handle the withdrawal WAY better than over the weekend. And when you add lousy weather into the picture... yuck, let me tell you it was not a pretty sight. I was cranky and edgy... Let's put it this way - b$%&@ is an understatement

. On my way to work today I was thinking that this whole quitting process is quite a character builder - it takes discipline, sticking to a routine and a lot of determination. I know it sounds whiny, I know it is a bad habit, I know all the benefits of quitting... Still, the nicodemon (love this word) is lurking and teasing at any giving moment... Not giving in, not planning to, not even finding excuses why I might... One day at a time, one moment at a time. I love the stats, I love the challenge. But I m the first to admit that it takes up -almost- all my energy to keep alert. I am sure we all went through the motions, more or less in the same way. And seeing the stats for some of you guys it's what makes it easier for me: "If they can do it, so can I!!!" If I say that long enough, through a craving, I WILL make it happen.

I still have problems with my bowel movement, I am still "hungry" at all times... I know these are side effects that will subside at one point. I am still on my exercise/diet routine, and that makes it maybe a bit harder... But I WILL make it. I am more determined than a week ago. And hopefully, I'll keep my determination throughout the days/weeks/months/years to come. But for now, I am grateful to have your support, my online friends.

Thank you

Cristina
