It's not me!

Day 17 of being smoke free occurs at 7:25 tonight.  Still mentally a smoker.  I know this because while shopping earlier every time someone walked past me and coughed or cleared their throat, right away I felt ashamed of stinking.  It would take a few seconds for me to say to myself "it's not you, you don't smoke, you don't smell".  Cravings are getting easier though my desire to smoke is not.  I know its silly but things as simple as going to the stores where I use to get my smokes and not asking for any can feel wrong, depressing!  I also find my scale wanting to be a comedian this past week. Healthy foods.

I'm 43 and started smoking at age 16. A smoker of 27 years! Wow, that's a long time :( I've stopped multiple times in the past but ended up going back within a few months. This time I stopped cold turkey with lots of prayer. A spiritual quit. God is good!
