I cant beleive I made it this far. (all of you know what I mean...) Yesterday I was sure I was going to cave. I just keep thinking of other things and breathing. I had shared with my Aunt that I was quitting. Somehow she must have know the distress I was in. She left me an e-mail reminding me not to smoke and to keep up the good fight.
Boy!! Did that help.
My Aunt was a smoker for many many years, untill she had a strok 2 years ago. I want to share part of the email she sent me when I told her I was quitting.......
It took a stroke to get me to quit. and now every day as I drag the left side of my body around I regret not having had the courage and strength to quit earlier. I smoked...and ended up having to quit ...Dancing,...Walking on the beach,..Driving a car,..Holding a great grand baby in my arms,...Hugging someone with both arms around them,...Cutting my own Steak in a restaurant...etc. etc.
Today I feel like a non-smoker. and tomorrow I will too
Keep up the good fight

Sanfern congrats on making it through hell week! You should print out your aunts email and carry it with you everywhere you go. Anytime you get cravings you should read it over and over again until they go away. Its much easier to just quit smoking rather than quit all those other things.
