We Quit Cigarettes

[aart]

It literally couldn't have been better than this.. ugh. I had it in my head that if I could just get this job, things would start looking up.
She said she wanted to keep my application on file because another position will probably open up in about two months. I don't know whether to wait or look for another one.

Definitely keep looking, you'll find another then this one will call back.

Never wait. Keep looking. Then if this one calls you it will be your choice as to whether you take it or not.

Exactly!

I feel pretty great today. I’m actually trying to stay off BYC for a few days because it’s sort of a smoking trigger for me. @Kiki you’re doing incredibly and serving as an inspiration for me. I got super scared (I don’t know what the right word is really for what I was feeling) yesterday about becoming a non smoker. (Change makes me super uncomfortable...) so in sabotaged myself and had a half of a cigarette before I went to bed.

WHAT? I made it all that time, 30+ hours, and then I did that? When I could have just gone to bed. Ugh. I am 100% capable of beating down the cravings within me. It’s this mental game that’s rough.

what I’m NOT doing is letting myself self-sabotage. Just because I did that, doesn’t mean ANYTHING about today or my future. I’m thinking this is me embracing “cannot” vs “can not”. Cannot is overwhelming, and like a funeral I don’t want to go to. Can not is a new beginning.

You can do it!!!

Try not to look at that little half as a failure or sabotage or anything! You made it 30 WHOLE HOURS before you had it AND you stopped yourself and only smoked half of it!!! Both of those are HUGE!!! And now today you will make it even longer and before you know it will be one day, then two days, three days, a week, etc. One day at a time.

The mind game is the absolute worst.
I need one of these youngins here on BYC to quit playing online do much and go to school to invent a magical mind game pill.

I wish!

I didn't get the job.

Thanks. I will keep looking. I'm trying very hard to not fall into a slump right now.

So sorry Tessie!! Something better will come along!!! I just know it!!

I would definitely keep looking but if you want to or need to, you could also use this time to focus on yourself and healing.

But there’s no guarantee one would even open so I’d definitely keep looking for now. You’ll find something soon! I know it!

'Outside' is the only REAL life for me.

I lost too I'm less than I was when I was sick and I've been eating! I don't get how I'm losing but I won't complain. Guess healthy eating or being more aware of what I'm eating. Yesterday I ate aseasoning packet from vegetarian ramen and used my healthy noodles and I had an awful headache. I threw that vegetarian ramen I had in the cupboards into the trash the headache lasted all night.
