So today is Day 15!!!
Sorry for not being here for 3 days but I've been in a business trip and it has been almost impossible to read and blog.
Really a crazy rollercoaster!
I took my first flight as a non-smoker and it has been so great to get into the the airport without looking for a smoking area (some of them still exists) or without counting the hours for my next cigarette.
At the same time has been shocking that as soon as I got out of the airport at my destination, I had a huge craving. My mind remembered that I was used to run out of the airport to have the first cigarette and I remembered that feeling.
It has been so strong that I had the same craving on my way back to NY ... it was a little bit better but still tough.
It's crazy: it's like re-wiring my brain and my life ... and one time is not enough! I need to go through the same experience at least 3/4 time before I start forgetting the connection with a cigarette ... and I have 31 years of experiences with cigarettes in my hands!!!
This is going to be long ... but as usual ... one step at the time!
Anyway, it's getting better.
Week 1: Two huge crisis ... several cravings and thinking about cigarettes every single second
Week 2: One huge crisis ... still a good amount of cravings, but less than before and experiencing the first moment when I'm not thinking about cigarettes
So let's embrace week 3 and see what happens.
Thank you to all of you for supporting me every single day..
Carlo
