I love this post, and images often make a bigger impact on me. Ive saved that pic on my phone :)

Sarah, how are you feeling today?

I did that too. When Christie was in hospice......dying of cancer. As awful as it makes me feel, as much as I shake my head at myself.....its important for me to remember those things. It always helps me remember "I cant ever have even one cigarette. There is no such thing for me......."

LOL! It doesnt sound weird at all!! I totally understand. :)

This is so funny! I just made a blog post about my sense of smell. I have been incredibly surprised at how some things smell. Some new scents smell wonderful!! Other things....oh boy....I was shocked by their stink. But one thing is constant, I never smell like a stinky ashtray anymore. :)

Welcome to a brand new day Amy :)

I will not smoke today :)

-9 :) Good morning

I will make cheesecake!!

Amy, you just keep taking steps forward and we will all keep walking with you. I'm just a girl Amy, just like you. No better, no worse, just doing the best I can everyday. Some days I mess up terribly (lol, you did read the Home Depot story, yes?) I hid in the bathtub and cried through some days of my quit. I ranted and threatened homicide. I ate myself stupid. I crawled into bed at 4 in the afternoon if I needed to. ;) I did whatever was necessary (besides homicide) to get through and not smoke. You can do this Amy. You can. Let your quit buddies have enough faith in you until you have enough faith in yourself. It'll carry you until you are strong enough to say "This is do-able" (Hugs)) Stay close with your peeps. We are here for you.

The very first sentence of your post grabbed me! It's a huge part of the reason I relate to you so well. Tracey, I was taught something by a fella I credit with saving my life. "The minute we stop learnING and saying I've learnED is often when we slip into a teacher mode as opposed to student mode" My most profound teachers have always been people who had no idea they were teaching me something. I am a student of life. May I never stop learning and may I never become so complacent in my quit that I think I know it all. You inspire me Trac!
