Today makes one week! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Yeah!

One whole week!
I can't believe how much better I feel when I wake up. My lungs don't hurt...they aren't screaming for nicotine.
The cravings are still there...but they aren't constant like they used to be.

I'm just going to focus on today.
Not tomorrow.
Not next week.
For today, I'm a nonsmoker...
And I like it!!

Keep up the good work everyone!!

Out...you have no idea how much I admire and envy you right now!
I've found (today) that lillipops help. Going out to get some sugar free at lunch.

Kudos, OOAL!!!
You've made it past Hell Week!

Keep up the good work. You can do it!
Remember to focus on long and short term behavior changes. That's what works for me, anyway!

Shalom!
