10+ hour drive up to North Carolina. Now in car with my hubby smoking away! I used to smoke probably double on long trips. I'm chomping on gum like crazy and drooling all over myself. Got my Kindle loaded with new books. And I guess I'll sing. Too bad I can't upload a video of THAT here! :)
so... we made it to north carolina - 10.5 hours and a lot of gum chewing and water drinking and i got thru it! but i have to tell ya - i am struggling with thoughts of smoking today/tonight! it's freaking me out because i've been doing so well and feeling so strong up until today... high anxiety for sure.
good thing is that tomorrow is exactly one month since my quit date on august 5th. and my son is so proud of me. it is so important that i do not smoke !EVER! for my family, especially my son. he is now 21yo and has hated my cigarette smoking his whole life... i want this just as much (if not more - to be honest) for him than i do for myself.
just keep telling myself that i am freshly "out of detox" - just a newbie recovering addict in the same world that i lived in as a smoker. no halfway/sober house or outpatient facility to help me... BUT
...thankfully and gratefully i can come here and share my struggles. thanks for listening. xo
carol - just coming back from my vay-cay and you are leaving today! you sound prepared! think you will be just fine. i didn't prepare for anything, just did my usual, winging it... still smoke free...
hope you have a spectacular time hiking and enjoying mother nature! xo
