I am so sorry to my EX friends that I haven't been around for the past month, so I figured that - if nothing else - I owe an explanation. I truly enjoyed my experience in this communiuty with my quit back in June. I was successful at going a full two weeks without one smoke, thanks to the tremendous support I received here, and was so very confident and proud of myself. Then....I went to Las Vegas! It was so tough for me there. We were drinking around the clock (which rule one is not good tha…

Well, I made it through day two...with one cheat! I couldn't help it and feel like crap about it, but I will get past it. I honestly don't even know why it did it. It wasn't hard day, time went by pretty fast, just couldn't seem to help myself. But, all day and only one, so I am still going to be proud of myself and will continue on my quitting adventure tomorrow! For now, I am going to bed because I feel the urge for another. Better to get some rest! :)

So, I am on my second round of quitting, and today is my new Day One! I went nearly two weeks before I went on vacation and screwed it all up, and am so disappointed inn myself, but am trying again now.

I showered last night…

I somehow survived Thursday and Friday, but Saturday night was just too much. I am used to it being smoke free indoors in Florida, and you can smoke anywhere in Vegas - and I swear every resident and tourist there is a smoker. I had it in my face so much, and was adding alcohol to the mix - and it was ju…

Day Ten morning has greeted me well. I started having some weak moments yetserday, but realized after a few hours in to it that I forgot to put a new patch on after my shower. I put a new one on and was good for the rest of the day. We even went to dinner at one of our favorite places (it is non-smoking), but I shared a pitcher of beer with Eric and guess what...didn't even want a smoke! It was nice to eat, then be able to sit there and have a beer with him rather then jumping right up to run…
