Day 11!! Quit date 08-17-10

Today could have been a lazy day for me as usual! After I drop my son Sam of at the school bus at 7:20 am I usually feel tempted to go crawl back in bed especially since I have been dealing with a horrific cough and withdrawl symptoms. So I decided to not go back to bed since I get scared that I am going to slip into Depression. So I had a good healthy breakfast and some coffee, then I went to the gym & went to the flow yoga & went to pilates class. Felt a lot better after all these classes even though I coughed through both of them. Then I went to an AA meeting at noon, and I felt like I was going to die from trying to clear my throat, and trying to catch my breath. It was awful!!! After my friend showed up with some nasal spray that she thought would help. Then I went to meet my sponser at Whole Foods. We had a good talk and finished working the 5th step. I felt good about that!! I also had a good talk with my mom for a change. I am grateful for that. It was nice that she gave me sometime and a few suggestions since she had quit smoking  over 20 years ago. I love my mom but a lot of time she is tooo busy to give me anytime. I have had to learn a lot of acceptance when its come to my relationship with my mom. I get tired of trying to fight for her attention.
So afterwards I called my friend Dawn and invited her to go to the Depression group with me. I try to go when I am in town since its good for me to develop a support network. Very helpful! It was a good group. I mentioned that I have 11 days smoke free! I am very proud of myself and looking forward to feeling better soon!!!
After the group Dawn and I went and had some happy hour appetizers! I am feeling better now but it comes and goes!!! I feel like I probably could have gone to work the way I feel right now, but earlier I felt like I was going to die!!!
