     My first week of tools was amazing. I have not been so positive in a very long time.  And I thought I was positive all along.  By the third day I have heard Devlyn say countless times, " Do it now!".  I decide he's right (and he is) so I quite smoking.  The next four days are even more positive and "Great" than the last three.  "This is the begining of the rest of my life", I'm saying. It's very good.  Its good because I'm good.

     (sigh) But I'm me, and so I do what I always do.  I have a bad day, and just for a moment, which is all it takes, to hell with it all, I just want a friggin smoke. 

     There was an exercise the first week were I was to list negative things Isaid to myself.  I had a really hard time comming up with them.  Didn't think I did that much at all.  That is, untill I had the first cig. then the first pack, etc.  Holy crap I'm god awful and mean.  I  just pick up on it more now that I have a checklist that askes me to pick up on it.  Took me a week to regroup.  Thank you Devlyn And staff for the checklist, and especialy the pod-cast. They really help.

dont quit quitting

your addicted its not going to be easy but you are willing and thats the most important thing ive quit smoking drinking and drugs its hard but well worth it think of it as a steak thats delicious in the center but real tough and fatty around the edges just deal with the tough stuff and keep chewing and b4 you know it you get the the best tasting bite youve ever had and it keeps getting better  

There is plenty more

There is so much to live for and your new son is showing you much of that.  When the new things we discover are better than the old habits we detest, it is amazing how quickly the old habits just seem to fall away.

 

Hang in there, and get to Day 30 - you will be surprised how much easier it gets.

 

Have a great day! Angie
