My humble confession... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

EmotionalMeg · 12-30-2003, 03:01 PM

I cannot believe how the world works sometimes.
Lately I have been feeling "guided" / "led to my path"... and weird things just keep on happening.

On Dec 3rd, I gave up my pack-a-day smoking habit. It felt really good for a couple of weeks, but once the holidays hit, it got real hard. I got stressed, and I had a smoke... and another and another. Now, after 3 weeks smoke-free, I am back to it again. The WEIRD part is, that I have been walking around wishing there was a support group (Nic Anonamous) in my town, or someone I could call and go for coffee with, to help me get throught the tough times in my quit. And lo and behold, here waiting for me at SR... A new forum, just for me.

I swear it is scary how literal your prayers get answered sometimes.
(Thanks so much Jon - I really need this one.)

And so I digress... it is back to HARD work for me. I will not let this addiction beat me - plain and simple.
I think Jan 1st is my new Quit day... Why not.

Thanks guys
Meg

Just never stop trying.You will beat this.You will live smoke free.It is hard.I fought it for a long time.Even when I was pregnant with my son I could never completely give it up.But I kept trying.When I was finally beaten,I surrendered.And now I don't smoke.

Keep posting,

I'm aiming for January 20th, 2004 as my quit date.

Sometimes there's a method to my madness, I think this is one of those times. Best of all, most of you will be 3 weeks in (or more) and be even more inspiration to me to see how well you're doing!

Good luck!
