OK LP, so think of this exactly how it is feeling to you. This is another level you have reached my friend. The 16 months of success have given you possibly some false security at times and now is when you need it the most. So many things going on in your life, energy is hard to come by. You got this dear.....you have the strength of 16 months within you that you have accomplished.....never to be taken away, never. Time to build another level, you won't keep feeling this pull towards smoking with negative energy. It will change by your doings. Call up your strength, and do not allow the mortal weakness that is in your mind over smoking again. Your past is just that.....this level needs your future dreams, loves, and whats in your heart. There will be other levels even after this my friend, but I agree this place is the hardest after being so successful. Smoking is not in your future, cast it out. You control this about yourself, not the weakness or misplaced desire. We are human sweetie, I know you read this post from me with the affection I have for you and having followed you in this smoking cessation from month one with great admiration. My words are for you, my light is arriving with my words. Sweet 16 my dear.......how cool is it to be there 2 times in your life huh??

But today is because I have made it to 16 months smoke free and possibly allowed myself to have more of the above!
I must be honest..This last month has been extremely trying on me.
Many times I have struggled with the desire to have a smoke.
I seriously began to think I would cave...Though I did not.
And today I thank myself and those who suport me for that!
Many stressers have happened. Many health issues with loved ones and myself.
So I am here to ask those who have gone through this before me...WHAT CAN I DO WHEN TIMES GET REALLY HARD?
I guess I am doing ok but I have felt really weak at times.
Suggestions?
Anyways... for today I will celebrate silently and be proud I have chosen to live....smiles
And as for any updates on my scans..none yet...but hopefully soon.
Have a beautiful day everyone!
Its worth the struggle to stop. I promise!
Who else is still with me?
