Hey Taanoir!!!

Congrats on making it through the next phase... Heck Week!!! Lots of learning on the journey, eh???

I'd keep the company of your little sis as often as I could and not get rubbed the wrong way by the other family member(s)!!! Keep up the great quit, buddy!!! You have a really great start towards freedom!!!

RMH, day 2 is much harder than day 11, big congrats! You can and will get here, big squishy virtual hugs.

Stress is my biggest trigger, but I refuse to be defeated. I have made it 2 weeks, my son had his surgery, he is doing very well, I survived my ex-husband staying at my house for 4 days reeking of cigs (and he smokes my old brand), a 500$ co-pay I wasn't expecting, I have overcome having my dad be a jerk on the phone (I was busy cooking, he felt I was rude and giving him the cold shoulder, hung up on me before I could explain I was cooking), then calling all my sisters to tell them how horrible I am, then having them all call me to find out what happened (I'm never rude unless there is a HUGE reason), all in all Family drama 101. Frankly I'm happy to be back at work, back in the land of deadlines, and priorities. Still finding this to be a learning experience, this weeks lesson: learning to manage stress in a healthy productive manner. Although my sister Brit had some of the best advice, "sometimes you just have to be mad, live in it, roll in it, do laps in it, right or wrong the reason doesn't matter and isn't always logical, in the end it will help you to get over it", my little sis is one smart cookie. As for my family drama, I built a bridge and got over it, no smokes required....

Hi Taanoir,

Glad to see you've made it through hell week - especially with the added stresses.

You have a wonderful approach to this challenge - to learn as much as you can about yourself.

Keep posting with us to let us know how week 2 goes! Have a great, smoke-free day.

Just checking in, been a very busy and stressful week. I'm still quit, no slips, though I wanted to poke my ex husband in the eye as he stood there smoking and ranting about his girlfriend. Cravings are much better on the whole and I'm learning alot about myself. My fuse is not nearly as long as it was, no mood swings involved I just lack the desire to put up with stupidity, and I have a lot of physical pain I never really noticed was always there (things that hurt, but not constantly - ie my hip joint, the knee I had surgery on ect.). Not bummed, not depressed just awake to my body, like realizing that light headed means hungry. Hope everyone had a great week and that everyone enjoys their weekend.
