I made it to my first milestone, 50 days! I am so excited and the two thoughts (for lack of a better word) that get me through is that 1) cigarettes DO NOT EXIST!!! That's it, they just don't. I love this because I am not missing anything, I am not craving anything, I am just finding other ways to deal with every day life. I am now at the point where I my depression is lifting and I am thinking of other things to occupy my time. My 2nd thought that really helps me is thinking of smoking as a break up. My last break up I wanted to call or yell every minute of every day right after. Every day, that need and anger got less and less and almost 1 year later, if the thought of him pops in my head (which it still does), it's like EH, no big deal, go away. lol. Smoking is a lot like breaking up with someone and even though the thought may creep in from time to time, it happens less and less and the emotions tied to the thought are also less and less. I made the decision to not call or yell at my ex, I am making the decision to not smoke! So anyone that has gone through a break up, think of that when you are quitting, that has helped me and hopefully that will help someone else! Next Milestone 100 days!!!
