1. I am proud to announce that I have been off nicotine for 1 week now, they call it hell week.
2. I have started working on a new quilt.
3. I have some exposure planned for today.
4. I am going to another play with my safe person and without my nicotine.
5. It is going to be challenging to learn to do everything without this crutch in my hand.
6. I am accomplishing some of my goals that I started to work on when I can to this site 1 1/2 years ago
and it feels really really good.  I am very happy with the progress I have made so far and I want to thank everyone
for helping get there.

Awesome, Red!
How is the quilt going?  I'll bet it is going to be lovely when it's completed, as you are putting so much effort into it!

Hi Red,
 
Great work on these positive accomplishments! Keep up the great work and self-care! How exciting about your quilt! If you get the chance post a picture when you have completed it!
 
How has self-care helped you in the past few days?

 My Three?  Five
I have been off of nicotine for 3 days and doing pretty well with the anxiety.
I walked two miles this morning.
I was able to go to class and not have a anxiety attack with out nicotine. 
My class mates gathered together and helped me lay out my quilt today for me to sew later.
I have made very good progress the last few days and am very happy about it.

Hi sunny123,
 
You sound extremely inspired, this is wonderful! I am actually inspired by your description of this artist's home. It is always great to find out about our passions and be inspired by others. There must be a way you can rearrange your current living situation to satisfy your new living arrangement desires. Let us know what you come up with!

Good Morning:  I'm picking up my fired toadhouses this evening.
  I can't begin to tell you about the artist's home I go to.  I have been in other artists'  homes before, but this place, I feel so comfortable.  It is like a giant studio, everywhere you turn there is artwork.  All the floors are ceramic (easy clean up), cathedral ceilings, no doors on any rooms, studio off the living room and a very large studio building in the backyard  the size of a barn.  This lady not only does claywork, she paints, she models, she just creates whenever she wishes with whatever she wants.  This is what I have always wanted to do, my whole life!  I could cry because it has brought me back to "me".  Though I always knew I was creative and artistic I never had a studio and couldn't afford to rent one.  So my next goal is finding space for a studio.  Not sure how I can turn my house around to accommodate all this, but I want to find a way.  Talk about inspiration, awe and joy!

Today I am going to get the old watercolour paints out and make a birthday card for a friend.  I may paint a floral scene on the front.
