Today is day two for me and its almost over....The day started good...had a good morning workout and a good cup of coffee. I posted my pledge. My wife and I talked about the day and all that's going on right now. Then I headed to work...Shortly after arriving it all began...the thoughts, the pulling and nagging from the nicotine leaving my body. The what seems like endless voice yelling at me to just take one dip and I will shut up for now.
For the first time I actually said ... Oh hell no....I then went on our site and began to read. I even tried to give some word's of encouragement to others who had posted. The next thing I knew that yelling voice was gone.....WOW!!! it actually worked....my mind's thoughts changed. It might have only lasted for a while but in that while I proved to myself that it really worked. I also proved to myself that I was stronger than that yelling voice in my head.
I know that it will get worse and I will never be over confident in my battle ( I have failed many times because of that) but I now know that with the help and support of simply reading and being a part of a site like this it really works.....
I want to give a huge SHOUT out to everyone who takes the time to read and post on this site. I also want to thank the one's that send words of encouragement to me and everyone else. I for one really thank you.
Now its on to day three. In a short while I will be back at home where I am safe from these voices. Home where I can look at my wife and say that I made it through another day and see the joy in her eyes. I'm lucky to have that as well as lucky to have this site.
Thanks
PS.....don't think I'm done reading for the day cause I'm not.....I have made it my required bedtime reading to prepare myself for tomorrow.
