I Quit! The Journey Continues...

Day 3 
So today is yet another new day...I'm not feeling too bad today. I'm a little tired, and I've been struggling with my grumpiness. But I'm not feeling too bad. I still want a cigarette of course, but ... well, they tell me that may never go away, the cravings will be fewer and far between but will likely never go completely away...**sigh** oh well, it's something I'm going to have to live with. 


So I went to the chiropractor this morning. I always have trouble with my back but I'd been having some trouble with my ankle as well so I had him look at it when I went in this morning. Turns out I have tendonitis in my ankle! ha! Yet another thing I'll have to deal with...but such is life right? 


On the subject of smokers quitting smoking I've heard people say, 'I want to quit but the timing isn't right, I'm too stressed out right now.' ... but let's be honest...the timing will never be right. There will always be something that stresses us out. There will always be problems that though a cigarette will makes us think we feel better, it's just another problem lying in wait. So...quitting smoking is about learning to deal with those problems, face them head on WITHOUT smoking! Oh yes, a hard lesson...but the lesson is in the journey and I WILL MAKE IT! Oh yes I will. 


Tomorrow is yet another day! ;) woot! 


God Bless everybody...and Me.

I love you Heather! Congratulations on quitting smoking. It's a very wise decision, although one that is going to make you crazy sometimes... very wise. :)

I'm very proud of you for making the choice to do so. I wish your initiative would rub off on a few of my friends here. LOL

My prayers are with you! Lots of love!

Thanks Bry!

It's encouraging to know I have so many people in my corner. What should have been an easy decision to make is made difficult by addiction. Bleck! But I know this is for the best and I will get through!

Thanks for supporting me! ;)

Love you woman!
