I am back from vacation and still smoke free!
A quit buddy of mine suggested that I take something with me to remind me of you all. I bought a bracelet as a reward just before I left and it worked like a 'charm'. Whenever I had thoughts of smoking and twirled the beads, reminded myself of my commitment, and moved on.
I am very proud of myself for remaining smoke free, but also because I accomplished some difficult things while I was away. I went camping with just my son...no help along. I hauled the trailer out to the campground, I back the sucker (30feet) up into a difficult space, set it up, chopped the wood, hauled the water, etc, etc. and then took it all back down and hauled it home again. I didn't even think about smoking, let alone crave.
So far, I have been sailing through this quit without too much difficulty with the exception of Day 2 (I hid under the covers all day), and yesterday, where I felt myself sliding into the 30 day pit. I stopped the slide, said "I'm not going there", and climbed back out this morning. Tomorrow I start Week 5 which historically has been a bad week for me, but I am seeing only sunny skies ahead...in fact....I feel like.........flying!!!!
