LOL about the prick part!! If anyone can laugh about that comment… it’s me! I’m glad you took his negative comment and turned it into a positive one for you. That’s a great way to look at things! I am inspired by your confidence and committment. I really am proud of you, Mom. I KNOW without a doubt you can do this. I have faith!! Keep in touch!! Mwah!!!!

Hi Ausie,

Thanks for the encouragement. My last cigarette was Saturday morning. Hey, I’m not saying it’s been tough, but I did take a 3 hour nap yesterday! Thanks for stopping in to check on me!

Go girl!!!

One thing that helps. When the addiction grabs don’t think I can resist this for ever. Just tell yourself you have to resist for 5 minutes, then the craving will have stopped. It does too!!!

But it comes back !!!!

Still, I could cope with the thought 5 minutes of agony, not that it would go on for ever. :o)

Thanks, Tracy. The walk would be more than a couple of miles, ha ha! It takes me almost that to get to the end of my road.

I’m excited, but I’m scared too. I really want this. Thanks for the encouragement.

Yay! I’m excited. You can totally do this. And if you don’t, I will harass you daily on the blog. Maybe you can even decide not to get cigarettes unless you walk to the store to get them… after a few miles of walking, you may decide the cigarettes are not quite worth it.
