thinking that.......

I had a multitude of reasons that began piling up......outweighing the dysfunctional voice of addiction.......but this, this little man was the icing on the cake. He was what gave me the final push I needed.

Counting a deep breathing sometimes works for me too :) Often.....I shamefully admit, I am a 'seek revenge' kinda girl. (Uhhhh, toothbrush girl, remember?) what is helping with that lately is a simple statement: "Julie, if its a good idea to do _________ today, it will still be a good idea tomorrow." And then I wait. Most of the time Im really glad I gave myself some time to cool off before running people over with my car :)

A smilie holding a toothbrush........hmmmm.........:p

Oh boooo. My ipad emoticons show up if I view on my ipad or iphone....but on my laptop they just look like little black boxes. No cool pictures :(

Thats been my experience too Jackie. I am not responsible for the thought popping into my head. Im an addict, those thoughts are just going to pop in from time to time. I AM responsible for what I choose to do with those thoughts though. Do I feed them? Nuture them? Continue to obsess about them? Or do I get busy using the strategies that have worked for me in the past.....or try some new ones that have worked for others? The choice is mine. Glad you had a lightbulb moment :)

I wish for people in my house that dont force me to dip their toothbrushes.......;)

Ok.....Im not so smart when it comes to 'puters. I click on the blog tab above ( the tabs up top, right.....quittrainblog forums members calendar downloads BLOGS.......this is the blog button I click) I see others have made blog entries....but I dont see anywhere where it says create blog. What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? :huh:

"if" we are getting one....I've decided..... I don't wanna be the boss lady of classifieds section anymore. I wanna be like Dear Abby :p With a twist. :p

Rez in the house!! Welcome my friend :) (Are we getting a newspaper or is it too soon for that?)

That's how this thing is done. One day at a time. :)

I'm thinking of you lil'bug. Darned right you won't smoke. Cuz you already know that smoking isn't a solution to anything life throws at us. :)

There will be no smoking for me today! NOPE
