Stumbling block – Craving City **edit**

 

My Mikey, I love you

I didn’t smoke, though!  Thank GOD we’d bought some nicotine lozenges and never used them.  I cut one in half, so that it was only 2mg, and took the half lozenge.  It took away my craving, and I’m okay now.

Was that cheating?  I wanted to be completely nicotine free, not just a non-smoker.  Well, can’t have everything, right?  (Why NOT?!!! lol)

I’m still a non-smoker, and I’m quite proud of myself, in spite of this morning’s challenge.  I’m happy and proud that I didn’t cave in and smoke my way out of a craving.  That would’ve totally undone ALL the time without a smoke!!!!!

It’s only 6:15am.  I couldn’t sleep, so I’m still up.  I suppose I’ll stay up until Elisabeth goes for the bus.  I think she’s in the shower now.

Alex sent me an email yesterday saying he was proud of me (followed by a HUGE grinning face) and he loves me.  That was the best reward I could get for quitting smoking.  Now I’m even more committed to STAYING smoke-free, because I can’t bear the thought of making one of my babies ashamed of me.

Life is good.

Love to all,

Jack

The same morning I typed this entry, Juli sent me an email saying she is happy I quit smoking.  Those two emails were the greatest things I have gotten from anyone lately!

Good for you! Lozenges don’t count. It’s not like you’re a lozenge addict. You can do it. Everyone believes in you! Hugs, David
