I am fighting the craving to smoke really badly right now. I know I will be going home soon and I will be driving by where I can buy a pack. I will fight hard!! I'm thinking that my quitting is like a blanket that I have crocheted. My quit was beautiful and perfect just like my blanket. My smoking was like someone pulling a piece of yarn and seperating my blanket. If I don't smoke, maybe I can repair the blanket (my quit) If I smoke, I may make the hole in the blanket so big that I might never repair it or worse yet, throw it in the corner and forget about it. Do you know what I mean? Wow, the cravings are bad. I think I'll hit the bed as soon as I get home tonight. Thanks for listening and I'll be back tomorrow. Deb

Deb, I read a quote here not long ago that read something like "Don't be upset at the slip. Be upset at what caused the slip." I like your approach to this quit! N.O.P.E. each and every day, one day at a time! Thinking of you and sending you happy thoughts!

Slipping happens. We are not perfect creatures, or none of us would have ever smoked. Can't dwell on it, and get right back at er. You can do it! NOPE and keep away from the silly sticks!

Thanks for the encouragement. I have made it through almost all day. I am just choosing to not dwell on my failure. I am focusing on not having smoked but one day since 3/27/09. That's pretty darn good for someone who has smoked for over 40 years!! I'm doing pretty good today. I have thought of smoking a couple of times but not enough to make me want to buy another pack. Thank you all so much. I do want to stay positive this time. I let my cravings drive me bonkers last time!!
