I wasn't sure if I should write these feelings down here.
I wrote something very similar in my journal and figured I'd
share what I was feeling about the addiction and how I am
triumphing over the cravings and the triggers.
Well Unhooked I've been called a "tough broad" for the better
part of my life. I'm pretty much a person who calls it as I
see it.. has gotten me in a TON of trouble ! LOL !
I'm just doing like Tresa mentioned a lot of self talk and
shaking that sucker nicodemon by any means possible.
Glad you all didn't see me as a total nut job.. well maybe you
did but you're being kind and just not saying so ?

Tom ! You're right ! We are all a little psycho for embracing
IT at all.. :( And now we get a different kind of psycho going
to get rid of IT :)
The feelings of freedom mixed with celebration and resolve are
all encompassing.
Gotta keep the 'fight' in me going so that IT stays clear away
from me.. for GOOD !

You ARE totally AWESOME Ex Roller !
You ARE doing it ! I'm sooooooooo pleased for you.. and you
must feel absolutely great !
As Tom said though, keep your guard up at all times.. coz 'IT'
is a deceiving and manipulative thing.. so when/if 'IT' comes
along you kick him HARD against the curb girl !
So happy for you.. you have a fantastic attitude ;)

Well it's another day closer to death .. death of of 'IT'
that is !
I've come to yet another end of a day where, sure there was
stress, sure there were triggers and on top of it all I was
hit with a bug/virus which left me on my back since 10:30 a.m.
today. OOOoooooooooohhhhhhhhh.. it was bad :(
So I'm going to bed early with the thought of a feel better
tomorrow attitude and a little happy dance that yes ! Even though
in my past life as a smoker I would smoke even more when I was
sick and today it was the furthest thing from my mind. YEA !
It's odd how these trigger's - even the one's when you used to not
feel well would conjure up memories of what we USED to do and now..
BYE BYE NICODEMON .. as each day passes you are dying a long slow
death.
BETTER YOU, THAN ME ! HA ! :eg:

Yesterday I was not feeling well. Today same thing...
Must have caught a bug of some sort - However, yesterday
I was getting through not feeling well with just the occasional
cravings...
TODAY is just AWFUL ! I feel that these cravings are coming
a mile a minute at me and it's not helping that I'm still feeling
quite unwell.
Have other's gone through an illness and the cravings hit real
hard ?!?! Quite frankly I'm feeling frightened by this perhaps
because I'm so weakened by my illness and I am fighting cravings
all at the same time.
I'll be here for a little while longer and then have to lay down.
I know that rest is the best thing I can do for myself right now.
Thanks for listening..
