Messed up again

Lula! Your posts were such an inspiration for me when I first logged on here! I followed your quit with such empathy!  I'm on day 50 now.  Last night I had a dream that I smoked in the middle of the night & couldn't log in today becauseI was racked with guilt that I had bailed!  But it was just a dream; I didn't really smoke! But WOW!  It seemed so real!  I hope you're able to find a way to get thru this Lula! No matter what tho, you came to the right place! Peteg is back with wonderful words of wisdom & a good dose of !  Maybe if you read your own words and lovely replies from many folks - right here on this post, you will see what a lovely diary it is!  Thinking of you today

1st attempt in 4 years...

Hi :) Welcome back Dunedad! You guys are all awesome, and I agree with Marbles that Brenda's story is incredible! That is some motivation for us all to look up to! Spring is a great time to start (and stay) Quit - it must work - look at Aloha go!  WooHoo!  Eya

Alohakeia has two years!

YAY Aloha! Congrats, congrats  on 4 awesome Quit years!  Thank you so much for your inspiration, kind words of support to all others who venture onto this site and for sharing of your great quit journey!  And now, for something you may say in this situation: I hope you reward yourself with something wonderful to mark this monumental anniversary; you deserve it!   Maybe a few pairs of  new (fancy) undies to dance in?  Oh Yaaa!

Feels like hell week all over!!

Oh my Sparky! Here I was thinking I'm so smart now that I have 50 days under my belt!  But I can see that this journey is far from over!  Thank you for these posts All of U !!!!  Looks like Tahlula has hit a similar roadblock in what appeared to a 'done deal' Quit!  & Peteg too . .  . sigh!  So glad you came here - these folks who've powered thru this and willing to stay and help others are amazing!  Hope you feel better soon Sparky!  You can do it - so many people here rooting for *you*!

Alohakeia has two years!

You know those fancy 4 yr Quit  'reward' undies to dance in are sounding better all the time Aloha! Looks like Ron is on board to join you for a dance or 2  . . .and I heard it thru the grapevine that Peteg is having a party this weekend - I think it's Ron who's headin' over there on his new bike to bong for apples with Lula and the Sparkster - or maybe to play ping pong  with Marbles at Peteg's Dad's greener pasture where Dunedad may have been hanging out lately . . . Anyway,  I just got me some spankin' new runnin' shoes that I intend to use to run off the lard on my butt - so maybe I'll jog over too - would hate to miss out on a lacy undies show! No tellin' who'll be playing at that festival!  Anyone else going?

Back for the Gazilionth and LAST Time

U C even tho I'm new to the forum, I have definitely read many of your posts from before yesterday (it's hard to mistake that peanutless avatar & and clever wit)!  So I  was referring to your 'Apple' not falling far from your Dad's tree (in his greener pasture) and his penchant for ping ponging. I thought maybe your Apple has some similarities to his ping ponging behavior - what with your coming and goings on around here! BTW can I come to that party of yours? I have brand new running shoes that need the tread worn in ; I could jog all the lard off my butt on the way over!  Will you be bonging for apples?  Dancing in your undies?  Either way, am so glad all guests will sticking with their Quit! Yay to NOPE!

Hang in there Lula!  Peteg is right; we have the power - not the addiction!  yeah! Good that you posted here - I caved after 3 whole years quit.  The craving came out of the blue - I thought it would be OK to just have a single little puff - Wish I hadn't done that as it derailed my quit and took 3 yrs to get back on track.
I hope you find something to replace the crave - exercise outdoors truly is doing wonders for me lately - also nutrition and vitamin/mineral supplements lately have been a blessing. Sending a hug your way. <3

Why I am glad I didn?t smoke today!

I'm glad I didn't smoke today because I could increase my jog/walk to a 2:1 ratio (thanks Aloha for the tip) and add an additional 30 minutes to my workout today. No sore lungs or coughing ! Also I'm proud that I resisted my friend (and former) smoking buddy's offer for a cig last night and felt good about doing so!  Too Cool! 
 
Hey JoDee!  Thanks for this post - how are you doing Quit Sistah?  How about your Roxie?  Why are you guys glad you didn't snoke today?
