Congratulations on your MMMM, Kristin. I'm sorry it's so hard on you right
now. I think you'll find like many of us that it's really hard in the
beginning. After a while though it gets quite nice to be quit. The
cravings or whatever get to be like almost nothing. More like simple
thoughts much in the same way as other thoughts, fleeting and unsubstantial.
I think quitting being hard after the first couple of years is the minority
of quitters. It's definately not me. I don't find it hard at all anymore.
That ended about eight months quit.

| Why Milestones Suck!
|
|
| It seems craves increase ten fold as these little darlings
| approach...its just part of the deal folks...should be expected but
| Uggghhhhh!!! It does suck, and it does happen to me...and I'm usually
| very positive and on the ball,,,yet at 6 this evening I found myself
| holding the basket in which I used to keep my smokes in, peering in
| praying that I would see one in there...like a gift from the junkie god
| to offer itself up to me...
|
| Of course it wasn't there...and I wouldn't have smoked it if it had
| been (I could have gone for some if Id chosen) but it was just a way to
| break the crave to try and pull myself back to reality...I even smelled
| said basket to see if it would smell like a Marlboro or not...(Junkie
| Monkey!)
|
| I have to be honest with myself...the last week has been hard,,,,very
| hard at moments but then so simple at others..I will make it today
| (I've got a few more hours) and tomorrow I will promise it again and
| away we go...
|
| My point....not smoking is hard....BUT I am one strong willed , butt
| kicking woman who will no longer be a slave to an addiction or anything
| else for that matter...I am free and it is so much easier to walk tall
| and battle on vs...living on my knees..
|
| After this milestone has passed I know I will settle back down...the
| inner junkie forced away again, into its hole but to doubt its
| existence is to lose this war and I will not lose...
|
| I will not be suppressed...
|
| I Do Not Smoke...
|
| I have not tried to willingly kill myself in Four months and 52
| seconds. Thats 1815 cigarettes that I have not smoked, saving myself
| $289.04.Adding a precious 6 days, 7 hours, 15 minutes to my life to
| spend with those I love, to rail against the dying of the light.
|
| I am a fighter and I am a winner because I'm a quitter!!! And to those
| of you who are just quitting...You can do it..even my worst days here
| are better than my best days as a smoker...I wouldn't trade it for the
| world and thats why I do it all-
|
| One Day at a Time and keep em comin'
