HEY EVERYONE
Its me again, just checking in and seeing how everyones doing. I think I am doing okay despite being sheltered, meaning I couldnt buy smokes even if I wanted to because I dont drive. Ive pretty much been home all eek. Except once where I was out, and I left my fake i.ds at home knowing that I could easily buy cigarettes where I was.
My throat hurts a bit and really is a reinforcement not to smoke because smoking will just make it worse.
I feel like the best method thats helping me is to think that a craving only lasts three minutes when I think about that it makes my craving go away faster than three minutes.
and when things are really making me angry insttead of lighting up Ill just take a long deep breath in and count to 6 or so and let it out. It helps.
I am eating alot more I think, snacking alot but I dont care too much the first week is a fragile time I know. So I am trying to just think about doing one thing at a time.
At one point today though i forgot for a second that I quit! I was thinking Ok time 4 a smoke now, than im like I 2quit and there was relief following! :-)
I am drinking alot of juice and just trying to stay close here but also trying to take my mind off smoking.
My sisters down and she smokes Im pretty sure still. I havent seen her smoke yet though , she was entertaing the thought of quitting with me a few days ago but I dont think she has and if she has I dont think shed tell me straight out right away.
It might be a trigger to smoke, it will be a test but i will get through it I have before, i can now.
anyways i am tired and my fingers keep slipping on the keyboard and its making me maddddd.
The only eotional side effect i can think of right now is anger and irritability, and crying alot but im trying 2 keep a handle on that.
ciao! btw its 12:30 so i think its the tenth smoke free day who hoooo!!!! :-)
