You are all amazing!
Thank you for the reinforcement. Thank you for the support. image
I think I have some work to do to quiet that nasty voice of addiction, and I hope that will get easier as time goes by. I feel so grateful that I have this place to come to during temptation. I know there is so much to read here always but I did need to put into writing what I was experiencing and I really appreciate everyone for letting me know you care as well as reminding me some very important truths. I certainly don't want to be a smoker wishing I weren't a smoker. I did that for too long. The things that my inner junkie was saying to me got to me because he snuck up on me out of nowhere. The whole thing was completely unexpected since up untill now I have been so fueled by the 'act of quitting' that I was too distracted to even notice him. I also need to have patience with myself. This is an adjustment time and I think I had a false sense of comfort and so wasn't prepared for such a head trip. Anyway, thank you again all of you...crises averted. All of your encouraging messages mean a lot to me...NTAP!
