Journal Entry for April 17, 2007 Mood
Tuesday, April 17, 2007
OK, today has finally gotten better. I can't begin to understand why it seems to take so long to recover when I get blindsided. I just don't get it. I get hit with a craving, I think positive thoughts, I take a break from what I was doing when the crave hit, I drink water, I do everything I'm supposed to do, but a panic attack still hits. They carry so much power it takes me a few days to recover.

Let's see if these "episodes" are getting fewer and father between. Last week, I had 4 good days. Best I'd done in a month. Let's now see if I can get all the way thru the weekend before another meltdown.

Like a just told Gradma4, I have no choice but to keep the quit. I'm all out of excuses! I've used all of them up already.

Lookout 2049!!! I'll be back!!!

    Hi Regi, I just want to encourage you today and say that this too shall pass. I am still struggling to quit myself, but I have done it before and I do remember that it does get easier. They say a craving doesn't last more than 7 min or something close to that. However, it seems like they keep coming doesn't it? What keeps me going is when I think of my children watching me light up. Not to mention my health. Anyhow, I empathize with you, but be of good courage because you WILL make it!
