Im realisedm some thing about myself today. I was thinking back to a couple of months ago before I stopped smoking. With my breathing issues the smoking was really killing me. But yet I still smoked three paks a day and never thought that I would stop smoking ever. Now it has been like one hundred and thirty four days since I stopped and today it hit me. I faced myself and asked why it was I never thought I could stop. And the answer shook me to the core. I never thought I could stop smoking because I didn't beleive in myself. My self esteme and self worth was so small that there are a lot of things about me that I never thought I could change. But I have made changes that I never thought I could. I am stronger than I have ever been mentally because I take my meds. I have stopped smoking. And I am going to have bypass surgery. I now know I am worth making changes.
((((Deb)))) You did something that was very hard to do, it took alot to do. You have a lot to be proud of. Stop smoking takes a lot of inner streight. And yes you have to have to believe in yourself. I am proud of you. I wish you the very best with the surgery. ANy news on it yet?
