Day 8: It’s on to week two, as it should be! I’m still disappointed in myself for failing
on day 18 last time. I think about it
daily. I’m not dwelling on it, but I do
remind myself of it at least once a day.
I believe it’ good motivation and there is never too much motivation for
the type of journey I’m on.
Cravings wise and state of mind wise, I’m doing ok. I get daily cravings, as anyone who is/was
addicted to nicotine would after only eight days off it. For lack of a better term, that’s part of the
“challenge” of quitting. Cravings will
come and go for a LONG time. I can’t pin
point when they’ll stop, if ever. Of the
people I have spoken to in the past who have quit nicotine, ALL of them say
they still get cravings from time to time.
That’s part of the issue for many people. That’s why MOST people fail up to six times before
finally quitting for good or just not ever trying to quit again.
We just got back from picking up Andy from his “loss of man
hood” surgery. The poor guy is completely
out of it and he has to wear the cone thingy.
You all know what I’m talking about.
He keeps looking at us like he hates us for allowing it to happen. It’s so hard comforting the little guy
because he can’t comprehend things like “you’ll be ok soon buddy,” or “we had
this surgery done because…”
Before we picked Andy up, we went as a family to get Chinese
buffet take out. The kids absolutely
love doing that! I’m not sure why, but
they do! Auden likes it because she feels like a big kid because she can put
her own food in the container. Beckett
loves it because he loves rice and pizza and you can get them at the same time there
lol. I love it because I LOVE Chinese food!
Stacy does as well. As a matter
of fact, for a small person, Stacy lays the hammer on the Chinese buffet!
It’s getting later and later and Andy can NOT get comfy. We
put his doggie bed in our bed and he just looks extremely uncomfortable no
matter what we try and do to help. He’s
still a little sloppy from the pain meds at the vet to.
It’s about midnight now, Andy can’t sleep and Stacy and I
can’t sleep because of that. I have a
feeling it’s going to go on all night.
If so, we’ll be up with the poor guy.
Yup, we have been up pretty much the whole night. Andy has been tossing, turning and trying to
lick his wound all night and we’ve been awake trying to help him get
comfortable and stop him from licking.
On the bright side, I still haven’t chewed! This is one of those times when I’d have a
dip. If I got woken up for any amount of
time during the night, I’d put in a dip while watching TV, and I’d do it 100%
of the time. It was nice knowing I wasn’t
going to chew! Alright folks, I hope you
get a better night sleep than Stacy and I.
Good night all…
