First, a belated thanks to Gitte and Leonie for their warm green congratulations....Gitte, that was totally cool green dancing CINDY...wow your posts always make me feel proud of myself!!!
And Leonie, my green QS...we're onward and upward to bronze.
I've been super super busy at work this week. And there have been weird little crave triggers popping up all over the place. I feel like I'm playing "whack a mole" at the carnival
These little furry crave beasts keep popping up in unexpected places, and as soon as I smack one down here comes another! I've survived this week smoke-free through a combination of sheer determination ("because I said so" ), the education about my addiction that I've gotten here, and the wisdom of all my QB and QS here both oldbie and newbie. I just keep focusing on the moment, going to the gym, breathing deep and reminding myself how proud and strong and green I am. I'm not posting a lot, but I am here every day more than once to learn something new and soak up the support.
I'm a little worried about how I'm going to deal, in the long run, with my best friend the chain smoker. She means so much to me as a friend, but now that I don't smoke any more I am starting to truly despise sitting around on her back porch with her while she smokes one after another...
TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING !!!
I have to battle craves, breathe in that stinky stinky smoke and come home smelling like an ashtray. I've been trying to motivate her to get up off her chair and let's go DO something with very little success. I don't want our friendship to suffer. Maybe I'll reach a point where her smoking is just irrelevant to me. Or maybe she'll see that it can be done and quit. I know that there are people here who are quitting but still have smoking spouses and loved ones....maybe someone can give me some advice???? In the meantime, today's happy stats are..
Cindy
