a set course

Let me first off start by saying thank you to my dear friend Tracey! You have been my biggest supporter with this, well,besides Eric! : ) I didn't really know where I stood when I was writting my last blog. I was overcome by disappointed I couldn't see anything but what I had NOT accomplished. I am still trying to quit smoking. It is just going to take alot longer than anticipated. I still have that pack I bought so that in itself is a victory for the home team!! I am a goal oreinted person. I always have been. So when I set this goal to quit smoking, I meant I would quit!!!! I don't give up easily! I am a survivor, and as I have said, I have survived far worse than smoking! I just have to take it hour by hour! If I can do 3 days, I can do 6! Sometimes I just need some time to myself to knock me around a little, and get me back on track! I have set a course, and I intend to follow it! I have smoked 1 cigarette today which in itself is better considering I used to have half a pack down by now! I am finding that times that were hard for me aren't so hard any more! Like when we have breaks at school. We get 3 breaks in the 4 hours we are there. Usually I would flock outside just like everyone else and smoke a cigarette. But now I stay inside, and finish up on some school work or read a book. I just have to keep myself busy! I can do this, I know I can. It's just going to take a little more oomph!!!
