    Wow... today was a tough one

    Hi all..

    First off.. no, I didn't cave. Still 7 days AF (12AF out of 17) and 10 days NF.
    But, man, today was a doozie. I was grumpy and grouchy and wanted a drink or a cigarette or both. Had I gone into town, I'm sure I would have come back with either or both.

    But.. it's after 8pm now... went to the gym, went to a dinner party after, and am feeling more like myself again. Whew. Close one.
    Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

    Good on you Sunshine. Last nigtht i managed to stay AF and NF as well. Quitting both is not easy.
    I stopped counting my AF days now,still counting my NF days. Quitting smokes is soooo hard

    All the best
    We are your friends. You don't need to be alone again. So come along.

      I know those close calls with both - Excellent Sunshine! You are the rock star tonight!

        Yay for you, SS! I was worried after I read one of your posts earlier, maybe in the Newbies Nest where I was lurking. You sounded like you were wavering. I am so happy you didn't cave, and I'll bet you are, too. I was having a really hard day today, too. I was right there with you! We have the same number of AF days for Jan., but you are currently in a longer stretch of AF days.

        Then, just about the height of the witching hour, I jammed my two little toes on my right foot into a doorframe as I was running to the kitchen to get some potatoes that were boiling over. I ended up in the Urgent Care. Little bit of a fracture. Now I'm sporting a lovely boot and crutches. I must say I was happy to be AF throughout this ordeal!

        Keep up the good work!

        If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

              Dill-Sorry about the toes

              Sunshine- you go girl! You stayed strong and you won!

              I too was having a tough time. Sat. night- nothing going on and a bottle of chard. in the fridge that
              clueless hubby bought for me before leaving for a month. ( He just doesn't get it yet).
              Well, he thought he was doing something nice. ANYWAY- I reached for the iced tea-had dinner-a HUGE bowl
              of ice cream and I am hitting the jacuzzi. Craving -GONE :thumbs:
              Made it thru unscathed. Next challenge- football playoffs tomorrow. ODAT, right?
              Thank God for MWO and all of you.
              Toughen up!

                  Way to Go Sunny!!
                  You are my inspiration. I am stiff AF-Day 4 once again. Not gonna attempt getting off the smokes for a little while. Stay strong woman. I am proud of you.

                      Wow... today was a tough one

                      OH - just read of your po lil toes --- YOUCH! (WHY are there so many nerve endings in your toes...? To what purpose?? lol)

                      You didn't say if you had to drive yourself to Urgent Care - but, just think had you been drinking!! You wouldn't have been able to...

                      That's something that has crossed my mine: Even tho I was drinking in the "safety" of my home, who's to say what emergency could occur where I would NEED to drive... and then either couldn't or... bad things, Really bad things, might happen as a result of me driving!

                      OH DEAR.

                      Hope your toesies get better soon!

                        Delta Moon, OMG! The play offs! Definite trigger, thanks for mentioning it. Knowing others are getting through today, I will too!
                        Savon, My husband drove, so that was good. But you are so right about drinking in the "safety" of our homes. I've thought about that a lot.
                        Thanks all for your exspressions of concern! I'm doing fine.

                            Job well done...I have those CLOSE CALLS when I go to Walgreen's...it scares me.
                            At Christmas they had a pretty display of jack Daniels by the front door...the Janis Joplin in me ALMOST took over...now I don't go to Walgreen;s alone...better safe than sorry.
