It's all about choice. We can create the drama, or not. Create the fear, or not. It really is very simple. As simple as stepping into the life we want and not being chained to the past. The rains may fall and the droughts may happen but we simply move forward step by step when it feels too hard to run. Accept support when it is offered, accept gratitude for what you have and what you have accomplished without ego. Some will travel with you on different parts of the journey but don't be afraid to walk alone when it is needed. You are never truly alone anyway, you are a part of the universe, a child of the stars and all the vastness that becomes of this space. It's time dear heart. Own the journey. x

Day 4. Woke up with a headache and a bit of a sore throat, but apart from that felt good. Have planned a day out on Sunday to Chopwell woods with hubby and dogs. Feel a bit irritable but know that this is all part of the quit and will pass soon (hopefully). Going to have to start giving the car and house a good cleaning as I am starting to smell the stale smoke and it stinks. Still feeling good about my quit and still feeling strong hopefully this will continue.

Day 3 Today started good woke up and never even thought about having a smoke, but then it started to go down hill. I haven't smoked for which I am very proud of myself, but I could have had one so easily. It was just one of those days when everything was going wrong. I took my sister-in-law to a hospital appointment 45 miles from where we live to be told that it had been cancelled and that the letter must have gone astray. Then got home to be told by my husband that our eldest son was needing picked up from work as he wasn't well and his boss didn't want him getting the train home. (his work is about 20 miles from us). So all in all not the best of days but like I said I didn't smoke but tonight my nerves are bouncing and I just want to scream. Going to have a nice cuppa then have a hot bath and go to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be less annoying and trying as today really has pushed me to my limits. Not going to give in just need to remember that this is my quit and that I am going to do it.

I am so glad you are starting a blog. This will help you and many other quitters. You might post on this thread also, Pre-Response to your own SOS Where, in your own words, you talk yourself out of smoking. A good thing to have in your tool box and very helpful to remind you why you quit. It also helps in our response to you. Hooray ! You quit smoking.
