Feeling good on day 3

Working on my quit this time with no slips.  Yes I'm on day 3 today.  I'm starting to feel better too.  I feel much calmer today and I know I'm not going back.  Day 3 and day 4 and day 5 can be my worst days to get through.

Last night, I was having a crave, and instead of going for cigarettes I ate a couple of ju-jubes, and a few potato chips.

It helped.  This first week, I'm going to have a few food treats, and then switch to something healthier like baby carrots next week.  I have to believe that no matter what happens, I will somehow manage it without turning to cigarettes.

I will try and blog every day.  I really liked Jackie's post yesterday about looking at this like it's a challenge.

I WILL get through this.  I will make good.

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
