Day 5

[Junior7]

Woke up late.  Doing ok--mornings are the hardest.  Focused on the things I want from quitting.  The health benefits, feeling more attractive, smelling better, saving money, etc.  Already having more energy, and my self-esteem is better when I don't smoke. 

Really appreciated Dale's blog this morning!  I won't let my emotions control my quit!  Will try writing that out a bunch of times if I feel overwhelmed by feelings and the urge to smoke. 

Went out to Chinese food with my pastor yesterday.  Had a strong craving after lunch.  But I was able to keep my eye on the prize and keep my quit.  Felt good about that.

I know things are going to get easier as time goes by--and I am looking forward to that!
