Re: Clora Fell Off the Wagon.....O/T

[Guest guest]

Clora and all

I smoked for thirty years before I decided to quit. And it was not easy. I had

several set backs and fell off the so called wagon. Usually for a few months I

could quit, but once I actually made it two years. It is not an easy thing to

do. This last and hopefully final time I used the commit lozenges, sanax for my

nerves, lavendar bath beads for calming, plus I was away with a friend who did

not smoke attending school. We took her vehicle and Nebraska had just enforced

the clean air act so I was not allowed to stand on public property and smoke,

the motel and classrooms were all smoke free, as she informed me was he car, so

for me I was in a predicament on not being allowed to smoke for seven days.

After that long I could see starting up again. I now have three years and

counting, but there is no guarantee that I will never smoke again.

Yes it sounds harsh Doreen,  I wouldn't expect any  less from you.  Wow you

remembered I said I had CHF. Nothing is wrong with your memory.  Thanks Doreen. 

 

I want the truth and I am proud of you for your response and all the response's

every one gave.  We all are who we are.  Everyone has showed their best.  I am

so glad to be in this group. 

 

Gentle kind hugs

Clora

Clora - quitting smoking is equivalent to trying to stop heroine. It

is a horribly addictive habit. Don't beat yourself up because you

backslid. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again

wiser than before because you are more aware of what caused the slip.

I think it was that said to make all the smokers go outside

if they are going to smoke. I agree. You HAVE to have a totally clean

environment if you are going to succeed. And the people around you

HAVE to love you enough to do whatever its going to take to help you

become healthier. You already are suffering from CHF and everytime you

light up a cigarette, you are just putting one more nail into your

coffin. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh - its just a loving butt

kicking. YOU CAN DO THIS! We're here for you. Sign up with

to you......... .....Doreen
