Bad news and I nearly gave in

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 180

So glad you made the right choice! Congratulations on 3 weeks!!! This quitting thing is very difficult but you know what!? It's that best thing that we can do for ourselves. Hands down, High Five and it doesn't get any better than this.

Good for you Joanne! One step at a time using N.O.P.E. Reward yourself for resisting temptation! Let your brain know it gets rewarded for NOT smoking!

Sorry to hear about your temptation. Those situations can surely tear us up inside and affect our willpower. That you put it back and walked away is the best news I've heard all day! Way to go! Be proud of yourself for doing that, learn it, know it, live it because we're all proud of you too! YOU ROCK!! N.O.P.E. Strength be with us all. carpepax [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/16/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 8 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 70 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $81.2 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 40

Brick Wall, nobody here will ask what was good about that, for we ALL know what a huge step it is to not give in under tremendous stress. And taking that step builds our strength and confidence so that we can more easily stay strong. Congratulations! Be sure to reward yourself for 21 great days!!!

Great Job. Knowing that lighting that smoke would not help your son, but end up harming him in the end, was great. Your doing great. Hope your son is okay. Hugs Koala

Great stuff Joanne, You certainly showed some "Sheffield Steel" with that decision. Yup, with that kind of determination you will succeed, I like it! Best wishes to you boy, I empathise with having a growth removed at that age, it happened to me and all turned out fine. Good Luck Penitent d737
