My Trigger.....

[Ichoosetolive]

My trigger is alcohol and the weekends!! So, I decided to go to work tomorrow so I wont over indulge in alcohol and smoking tonight and be a responsible citizen to society, while I make some extra income lol... I so badly wanted to go out enjoy a few drinks and ciggs... MAN... Day 4 is getting a little tense for me to say the least.... Grrrrrr

Very wise decision Ichoosetolive👍 but do make sure you treat yourself with that extra cash for working extra hard as well. Hang in there you're doing fab it will get easier 😄

Goooood. Do all the healthy things. Make some nice smoothies, do breathing exercises. detox, detox, detox. The quicker nicotine and carbon monoxide leave your sweet body the easier it gets.

O wow you and donnawac say the same thing for Day 4! I am Day 3. I will try to prepare for the worst tomorrow then. Extra money sure beats extra cigs though! Good job on keeping yourself busy! 🌷🌷🌷🌸🌸🌸🌺🌺🌺

[Ichoosetolive newly quit in reply to Ccs8686]

We are never prepared... we just go thru the motions at THAT particular time... I got a lil emotional and scared but I did it and we are doing it!!! Yes, extra money is always a PLUS

Great decision hun, sometimes we have to make sacrifices for our freedom and if that means not having a drink for a while, then that's worth it. It won't always be this hard I promise so dig deep and remember you so badly want to quit, you CAN do this👍🏼😊

[Ichoosetolive newly quit in reply to Briarwood]

Thank you so much! So glad I have you guys. I really appreciate you all

I totally get it... alcohol is my only trigger now... as time goes on , you will be joining your friends for drinks without lighting up👍🏻😊

I'm hoping day 4 is the hardest. I have a class to teach tomorrow so at least I'll stay busy. Then a Halloween party that is alcohol free so I'm going to go to that one. Have to have some fun. Just have to figure out how not to make things make me feel like crying.

[Ichoosetolive newly quit in reply to donnawac]

I am keeping myself busy too!! Good thing, like you I will be in situations where smoking is a No No lol... the wknds are tough, but we got this!!

Very wise decision, especially in the early stages. You're doing the right thing by breaking those associations. yeah, change the script and you'll change your life for the better.
