I am quitting smoking.
| Tue, 02-28-2006 - 9:31pm |
And so I am feeling really vulnerable.
It has been since Friday night -- some serious withdrawal tho I am using the patch.
I smoked so much sitting at the computer I am spending a lot of time away from it ...
Serious on my mind is the fear that I could go backward with the ed, which is just as deadly for me as continuing to smoke is.
Time's up for me, not a question anymore of messing around with any of it, the food, the smoke, any of it.
If I want a future, and I do. I want to live to be a really old lady.
See ya around --


Lots of luck!

You need a very big ((((((((((hug))))))))))
I'm so sorry that you were in a situation that was so triggering for you. I hope that you are feeling safe or safer now, and that a lot of the stress has gone away on its own. Right now it's important that you don't punish yourself or go into the punishing talk with yourself. You've already taken very big steps in your life, but you can't expect that between the time that you made the decision to not smoke or binge again that you wouldn't fall off the wagon. For a very long time, these have been the way that you dealt with stress, and it's going to take time to find new, healthier and more positive ways to cope with it.
If you are angry or sad with yourself, please don't. We have to be as forgiving and as supportive towards ourselves as we are towards others. Today is not only a new day, but also a new week, and we have a clean slate and a clean start.
