2 Days Smoke Free….and counting
Hey guys! I’m just sort of dropping in to tell you how the quitting smoking is going. I have to keep busy, so I’m sorry I’m not commenting on your blogs. Give me a day or two, and I will be back at it again.
Sunday was my first day of smoke free. It went suprisingly well until around 7:00 pm. Then I had a break down. I didn’t smoke, but I had an emotional break down. Uncontrollable crying over the stupidest thing. Anyway, I got it back together without the aid of a ciggarette and went to bed early. Craziest thing is I slept better last night than I have in a long time. Coincendence?
I was really worried about today. Being at school, with all those kids, can you say STRESS???? But it was okay. I actually did really well. And I told my kids up front that I was quitting smoking so that they would understand if I seemed a little short tempered. They were all sooooo wonderful. I heard “You can do it,” and “I’m so proud of you,” so many times. One of my favorites (I know I’m not supposed to have favorites, but I’m human) said, “Mrs. Leona, your a strong person. I know you can do this.” It brought tears to my eyes. But tears of joy that my kid believed in me. That’s what I call my students. They are my kids.
I came home and worked out. The drive home was pretty tough, but bearable. Then hubby came home and made some stupid comment that pissed me off. Guess what? Breakdown again. The uncontrollable crying was worse than on sunday. Hubby sat on the bed rubbing my back and just talking about normal everyday stuff until I got it under control. God Bless him!!!
Anyway, I’m going to turn in early again. And I will get back to reading blogs in a day or two. Just let me get myself under control first. Right now, I wouldn’t want to read some of the comments I would leave!
I am proud of you, even after our wonderful benchmark meeting you stayed strong. Can you say boring…. Anyway, just wanted to tell you that you look good. I am proud of you, hang in there. You remember those wonderful students next year when my D is there. Ha ha. I will make sure she brings you an apple every day, LOL.
I AM VERY VERY PROUD OF YOU!! Keep it up and I know it’s just the beginning! Have a great night!
YAY! You CAN do this. Think how proud all of your kiddos will be! And us and YOU! I had wuit this time last year and picked it back up over the summer. I am going to join your band wagon soon I hope! YAY to a smoke free you—stay strong—my mom has been smoke free for almost 7 years—smoked for over 30—YOU can do IT!
That is great!!!! Very proud of you..hang in there-You can do it!!!
CONGRATS!!!! THAT IS WONDERFUL! See? Children have a way of telling you the truth and touching your heart. You can’t let them down. Your hubby also deserves a gold ribbon for being so wonderful! Isn’t it great to have such motivations around you? Thank your god for putting such wonderful people in your life when you need it! Keep up the FANTASTICK work!!! You got it in the bag- just run with it!!! : ) Woohoo!
I didn’t know you were trying to quit smoking Leona! Good for you girl! It’s going to be a long road, but one that I’m sure you will be able to travel
So great of kids to see in us what we may not be able to see in ourselves sometimes. Great job!
You’ve inspired me once again. I decided last Tuesday was to be my last day as a smoker. I did great until the weekend. My daughter was away and it was just me and the hubby, who is also a smoker. I broke down and bought a pack that only lasted until yesterday morning!!! I’m so ashamed. Today I’ve bummed 2 from him, but am doing better as the day goes on. I’ll be starting a new job at the end of the month and am hoping that the change in routine helps me kick the habit for good. You have all my support because I know we can both do this!!!
EXCELLENT!!!
You are my new role model! Everyday is going to be my “last day,” and then I break down. Please keep me posted on your progress! When I finally stop I will let you know!
Keep it up!
Rock on! So very proud of you!
Don’t worry the mood swings will subside and you will feel great soon enough!
