Hi All!

Sorry I haven’t posted in forever!! 

Things have been pretty full on for me lately, but I’m soldiering though 🙂

How is everyone doing?
Is Ritchie still on here at all?

Joe – Awesome work mate – SUPER proud of you!!

Hey Hey!!

Sorry I’ve been so long between posting!
Work has been crazy, and both my laptops at home have died on me 🙁

Anywhoo – Today is Wednesday 30th Jan (well it is here in Australia anyway)

I still haven’t really been tempted to smoke weed for a while now, so that’s awesome for me!
I also don’t have many negatives to report either which is even better!!

I made it through my birthday without smoking (which is when I would usually smoke the most), so YAY for me!

There’s been a bunch of dramas with my family recently – which isn’t really anything  new – but usually I would just smoke and smoke until I forgot about them, not this time though!!
This time I have actually been able to confront them head on, which has been an awesome feeling!!

Joe – I’m so glad you are feeling better and seem to have found an alternative to going back to MMJ! That’s absolutely awesome news!!

I noticed there’s a new blogger, Lisa, whose blog I will pop over and have a look at after this!
I’m glad that there’s been a bunch of people following this blog – who knows, maybe we are actually helping some of them!?!

I haven’t seen a post from Richie in a while, so I’m hoping that he’s doing well 🙂

Still finding more and more positives to quitting smoking every day, and am finding myself with more and more energy every day!

To be honest – I’m pretty shocked that I have made it this far as it’s the longest I have gone without weed in many many years!!

I’d better make this a short post,  cos I’m at work :-/

Hope everyone is awesome!!

Hey Hey!!

Wow – it really has been a while since I have updated!!
I have still been following the page closely, but haven’t posted for a couple of reasons
1 – I’m in the process of moving house, while still working full time
2 – I really don’t even know what to say!

It’s day 33 for me!! Yay!! I have passed 1 month!!
Everything is peachy-keen at the moment!!

I haven’t had even the slightest desire to smoke weed in ages!!
I also haven’t had a nightmare in over a week, and have managed to kick the sleeping pills I was so scared of sleeping without (previous posts will explain why if you don’t know of my past issues with sleeping)

The only thing that still really gets me down is that even though a lot of my mates can see most of my positive changes since quitting, they continue to put it in the ‘too hard basket’.
I just wish they could be me for 24 hours and actually LIVE the benefits!!
It’s hard to try and encourage someone to quit when they simply aren’t interested (without sounding like a preacher anyway – and that’s just not my style!

I do have a birthday coming up (Jan 28th I’m turning 25 yay!!) and can’t wait to be sober on by  birthday for the first time in years and years!!
Hell – I might even remember it!!
One thing I am really excited about is catching up with my mates (a lot of whom smoke… a lot) and not even being tempted to partake!!
This will be a first for me!!

I had better leave it at that – as I’m at work :-/

Will try and check back in soon!!

Thanks again to Joe and Richie for all your help and the inspiration you constantly provide (a lot of the time without even realising that you are).

Much love x x

Whoooo!!!

Today is day 26 for me (I’m pretty sure) and everything is cruising along smoothly.

I will start with the only negative that I have at this point (other than the fact that I didn’t kick the pot 7 years ago)  –
I seem to be drinking more excessively than usual, which I think is partly my way of dealing with kicking one habit – like when I stopped biting my nails, I started biting the inside of my cheek (weird, I know).
I don’t have a drinking problem or anything, and still only drink a few times a week, but when I do drink – I seem to knock back more than I used to.
I think this is also because I used to smoke A LOT while drinking.

Now for the positives –
EVERYTHING!!!
I am sleeping better now, having nearly no nightmares!
Because of ^^ this, it is MUCH easier to get out of bed in the morning
My complexion has improved even more since my last post (I’m on my way to flawless skin WHOOO)
I am much more energetic
I have more time to do the little things that I used to overlook – and LOVE waking up in a spotless house every morning almost every morning
I am generally a happier person, with more patience – something I have only found in the past few days, especially when tested by work or idiot drivers
I no longer have cravings at all to smoke – and can’t believe that I did for so long!!
My memory has improved even more – I am for the first time in years actually able to remember clients names and job details (I see a lot of people in my shop every day and could never keep up with who was who)
And one of the biggest positives is that I haven’t loaded the weight on, as I had when attempting to quit previously

There are so many more up sides – but I am on my lunch break and had better get back inside.
Hoping to add more later.

Peace 🙂
