Not a great day. It is only 9:00pm and I am at 11 smokes today. I know I will have at least one more so that would be 12. My only excuse today is that I just didn't try hard enough. I used the excuse that March's mom is coming to live with us today. She got released from the rehab center this evening and we had to get her room ready for her, so we had projects to do and each time we finished a job I had a smoke. Most of them are at least an hour apart, some a little more, so I didn't completely go off course, but I did lose my way a tad bit today. Just a bit stressful today getting ready for her and wondering what the next few weeks will be like with her living with us.

Start over again tomorrow! Goal of 10, wait and extra 5 minutes, don't watch the clock so much.
So the mother in law has arrived, and some stress, which often brings out the bad habits in us. All we can do in those moments is try one change at a time, and each time we resist for 61 minutes instead of 60, that's progress, and progress is a success. We must we must we must increase our chances of kicking the habit by just moving forward, keep going, don't give up, don't throw in the towel, don't smoke that stick yet, walk away from the .... well, you get my drift. You inspire me, Mickey.
