Re: WARNING SWEARING

First, let's judge the rant: 9.2 from the Illinois judge.

Second, a few comments:

1. Stop TRYING to quit and acknowledge that you HAVE. Trying will get you
into more trouble that I can convey. As Yoda said, "Try not! Do, or do not.
There is no try."

2. Write yourself an Emergency Response Card.
(http://www.diaryofaquitter.com/erc.htm) As you have recently had a
wonderful new baby, may I suggest that your card say something like "Want to
live to see Joanna grow up?"

3. You mention church. Perhaps prayer will help you get through a crave. You
could either just pray for help in waiting out the crave, or meditate on a
general prayer as a means of focusing your mind elsewhere. Eknath Eswaran's
book "Meditation" offers some excellent advice on how meditation can train
the mind to focus where *we* want it to, instead of allowing it to wander.

You've been here before, April. (And so have I.) You KNOW it will pass, and
you KNOW you can do this!

Do it for Joanna. Do it for your future grandchildren.

Stay strong. Stay focused. Stay committed!

OK so today was supposed to be easier, haha fucking ha, I really dont know
if I can do it. I am SOOOOO fighting with the smokes right now. I havent
got any ciggies at the moment but I am fighting in my head and thinking
well perhaps I should go to the shop and just get a pack and then perhaps
the cravings will ease, you know them just being there so I have more
control. Yes I know that is total bolloxs and if I go and get them then
the likelyhood is that I will smoke the *** things. I then have an
argument in my head, one thing saying I need to smoke so that I don't lose
it with my Mum in front of Joanna when she is down and perhaps I should
just smoke another week and then quit next weekend when my mum is not
here. The other part of me saying NO dont smoke if you smoke then you are
only going to feel REALLY bad after, regretting lighting the fucking thing
up. So I am just having a constant pissing argument, even when I was in
church all I wanted to do was run out and grab a freaking smoke. My heart
and soul was so not into the church this morning. Perhaps I am feeling
crappy because I am not sleeping very well and havent slept well since
quitting. Last night I woke up nearly every hour on the hour and when I
did sleep I wasnt in that deep sleep but just basically dozing and heard
everything that was going on around me. Ok going to cook myself some
dinner now.

Two days, 15 hours, 19 minutes and 44 seconds. 39 cigarettes not smoked,
saving £9.85. Life saved: 3 hours, 15 minutes.
