Hmmm…you have commented this week about how focused you have been…how much work you have done. Do you think the two are related? How motivating to think that food, especially artichokes, will start tasting even better. Wow. You always wow me. You are a strong woman. Keep rollin.

Phil,

Thanks for the note and the prayers are definitely appreciated. I look forward to hearing your shame story.

Each person that encourages and shares with me, makes it that much easier to abstain, so thanks again!

when I was set free from smoking 9 years now driving was one of my hangups too. I purposely chewed cinnamon gum, and sang while driving loud as I could on the radio. I mean seriuos sining like people would look at me like I was nuts. 9 years of less nails in my coffin and saved $ thanks be to Jesus. you can do it . oh and I also put half of my $ away and splurged on something for us. I’ll be praying . Ialso have a shamed story i’ll tell later.

Thanks Lynne

The thought of Artichokes tasting even better is quite something to look forward to!

Larry – so true. I’ve done well on the time killing aspect of it. But I work primarily in a non-smoking environment, and pretty much all of my friends/family are non-smokers. So it makes it easier to be around non-smokers.

My challenge is the “in the car” time. Especially right after work, but I now carry with me an boat load of gum and chew chew chew and before I know it I’m at my destination!

Thanks for taking the time to leave me a note and share your experience I truly appreciate it. The more stories I hear, the better off I am!

I’m super proud of you, my friend. You have made such huge changes even since we met. I can’t wait to see what else God has in store for you. I am proud to call you my friend!!!

Wendy:

Time will sometimes feel like it’s dragging on forever–but then you’ll soon realize how much time you’ve wasted smoking (especially if you work in a non-smoking environment and have to go somewhere else to puff). When I quit, I was working on the 11th floor of an office building and didn’t realize how much time it kept taking for a nicotine break.

You won’t notice the change in smell until somebody else who IS a smoker walks by you. At first, you’ll go “hmm, nice” as your cravings kick in. In about a month or three, you’ll go “Uck! did I stink like that!!!” and as yo walk through the crowd of smokers at the door of a mall or office building, you’ll be holding your breath!

Awesome Wendy, you can do this… you are the ultimate ‘I can do it’ person… and I know you’ll overcome this… Yes, you smell better … wait til your taste buds realize what you did! They’ll be on their tiptoes watching, waiting for that artichoke ;0)

Love you, you are an inspiration to the masses…
