Quit Day

I've been trying to quit smoking for quite some time now. Two weeks ago Gale, my Tobacco Treatment Center coach, and I set today as my quit date. So far I haven't had any smokes. But in all honesty, I don't know if I really can go the whole day with out one.

The last attempt was back in June. At that time I lasted almost three weeks, which was a great start, then dad got sick and landed in the hospital for a week and all my trying went to hell. Since then, we've set three other quit dates. All of them came and went with a cigarette in my hand.

I know I'm just ranting right now, but for some reason, it is actually helping me not want one.

Maybe just seeing it written out is what I need this time.

It's going to be a LONG day!

Well, I just got back from my appointment with Gale. Really sweet lady. It was nice to get some encouragement, but I know today is going to be extremely hard.

Normally my husband would be home by 5:00 pm and I know I can count on him to help me make it through the rest of the evening. Today is a different matter. He teaches at a community college on Tuesday nights (and has been teaching there for many years) so he will not be home until 11:00 pm. I'm glad he teaches and that he enjoys doing it. Just for today though, I wish he wasn't teaching.

And to add to the rough situation, I still have at least 3 more hours of school work I need to do with my daughter. I don't know, maybe I should just consider today a loss as far a school work is concerned. I'll think about it for a little bit.
