I had a cigarette last night at about 9:00 pm. It was the last of the pack, and I agreed with myself that TODAY (Nov. 6) I am not going to purchase or smoke cigarettes. If I can make it through today ok, I am going to make tomorrow goal #2.
I think you up there, for the crashing waves metaphor – what a beautiful way to stand tough in the urgency of a craving!

I have smoked for 30 years (first time I have said those words) minus 2 times I quit once for 4 years, and more recently for 8 months. I plan to move to a place that is healthier overall than where I currently live, and I need to save money fro said move, so this, for me, is win-win. I do not want to be the oddball smoker when I move to place that values health & physical activity. I wish you strength, OP, to make the decision and the heart to stick with it. Wishing the absolute same for myself here. 🙂 <3
