Here I Go Again

[Jwife22]

Okay...so I quit for a few days a while back. It didn't last, I smoked again.....of course...so I've decided to try again.

I quit last Thursday, Sept 13. Its been 8 days. Eight....freeaaakinnnn long days.....sometimes I feel like I am going to pull my hair out. I feel like I am going to kill someone. My poor hubby...he's dealing pretty good.......I told him that I dealt with him and his withdrawls from xanax so he can deal with me and mine.

I struggle...its true....its harder every time you quit.....well...this one is for good....I want to get healthy.....so here I go again!

Good for the both of you!!!
Sorry, I've been busy with the holy days, but, I'm so proud of you for trying once again. I can't even begin to tell you how often I quit before I quit for good....well, for One year, nine months, three weeks, four days, 12 hours, 19 minutes and 31 seconds anyway, lol! That makes 26540 cigarettes not smoked, saving $7,298.19. Life saved: 13 weeks, 1 day, 3 hours, 40 minutes. :>)

This last quit was tough! I won't lie. And my aunt said something to me that helps me when I REALLY want another cigarette, and my addiction is telling me that "just one won't hurt."
She said, "I know I'll never smoke again, cuz, I'll never quit again."
I don't have another quit in me, ya know what I mean. This one took a LOT outta me.
So, it helps me to remember that when I want one again.

Keep up the good work, you're doing GREAT!!!
And remember to keep the quit and post before our puff!

Shalom!

Oh man........my addiction tells me that all the time....oh you'll just smoke one and that'll be it! It drives me insane........I've gone through 2 or 3 packs of gum in the past 2 weeks but I am still smoke free~ Today makes 15 days!
