4 sticky days feeling good - reflecting on one week
Evelyn posted a blog entry in NOPE; Evelyn's Blog
I just woke up. I'm pretty wakey wakey, going out for a social meeting thingy; dunno how to translate (hey it's 8in the morning huh!) and they will be puffing anf smoking and drinking strong coffee. I promissed myself one bottem of strong coffee and smoking wasn't even on my mind ;) Booze is NOT a good upper, Saz is right finally after a week I stabalise again. NO booze EVER again. Same rules with cigarettes; they have the same shitty affect.... I have a cool dance music one, but I expect everyone from the USA is still in dreamland :P This is my sticky quit, one both accounts. Starting one, means starting the other. NOT an option EVER AGAIN. Newbies: also post when things lighten up ;) or read my post to hold on to (((hugss))) to all who need them -
I promise NTAP & NOPE For today No excuses

I am back ;)

When you smoke, you don't care as long as you get your fix: but you do not care for your well being. In fact most smokers hate 'their habbit' but don't have a clue how to throw it out the window. There's a few things: 1- fear of quiting (withdrawls) 2- low self esteem and 3- no real commitment to stick with your decision to quit. You can get tons of advice about this on the forums and / or fwatch the video's from Joel Spitzer: https://www.youtube.com/user/joelspitz/videos and read, read on the forums and commit to NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF / NOT ONE PUFF EVER Low self esteem boy who hasn't have THAT? Nurter your soul, love and care for your body and with I post a video of Katy Perry's Uncondittionally... watch it and sing it to yourself, when you're sad, hurt, slammed to the ground by life. Because YOU ARE WORTH that YOU LOVE YOURSELF You can't love someone else if you don't care a shit about what happend to you... Care for YOU, because if you don't... who will take care for your kids when they need their mom / dad??? Taking time for yourself is healthy. So sing, playback, do kareoke in front of the mirror with the song. Words have power and settle in your heart Wouldn't this be wonderfull gift for yourself? Gaining freedom, by choice. It's up to you. I know what I choose for I commit to Never Take Another Puff / Not One Puff Ever

I am pleased. And I'm also going to be open, not for my sake but for those who struggle with mental health problems, various from anxiety to depression to borderline... I a proud. I am proud standing here with my almost 3 days on my ticker. Not that the quitng is a huge accomplishment... but quiting when you have to deal with anxiety, or in my case dissociation: I lost almost 2 months of time, variating from a day to 2 weeks. Finding myself smoking, on the ER, another hospitalisation on the mental health clinic or heavy drinking. There's also hope. CONTINUING smoking is NOT the solution-- I asked an adjustment in my medication and since Wedneysday I'm stabalising. Do NOT shy away, because you can't quit; YOU CAN!!! You darn CAN!!! I did it 16 months before I startled destabalising. BUT there's always hope on the end of a thunderstorm, suddenly rainbows can pop up, shinning thru your tears!!! And I'm one of those tough cookies, who's sweet enough to tell YOU, another tough cookie to stand up and start living a smokefree life. THAT is the first freedom, no excuse needed. Did I fail, stumble, felt ashamed hell yes... but I got up! And that's why I'm writting this: no one is helpless or lost... Alegria

My 'nice' neighbor once teased me with that b*llsh*t and I got so pissed off she never offered it again So get pissed off if he keeps teasing you, it's NOT funny. Tell him to smoke a whole pack at once and then keep on going until he can shut up ;) I'm very easy in boundaries. Don't piss me off, do not cross them by prurpose and we can play nice :) It's your quit, guard it, sit on it keep it and don't some 'game boy' ruin YOUR health, and remember it still is YOUR choice if you light one. But I advice you to set some straight boundaries towards him. ;) You can do this

They were very ill, too often getting me upset, at one point I had 4 all sick not knowing what I did wrong I gae them up for adoption only Guus will stay in the group of the shelter as 'a male leader' that was my request as he needs his teeth done every few months. Now I have a hammie; hammies either live of die; simply said not weeks of medication 4 times a day dagging me out of bed. I just can't handle that my stress makes the piggies sicker
