Today is day 5 for me. I have not been on here since day 2 because I thought the site wasn't working. Everytime I went to community I was told "We are having problems, don't smoke though, we will be working shortly". Finally today I thought to go to some friend's pages and realized that you guys were blogging all along. Finally, thanks to Guilia, I found out the problem was my computer and I was able to fix it.
I have made some discoveries along the way. I really don't think that the 3 weeks I spent cutting down on cigarettes helped at all. I will never understand the dynamics of quitting smoking. Day 1 and 3 were horrible all day long even though I kept telling myself I don't do that anymore and I'm a happy quitter. Days 2 and 4 were relatively easy. This morning was hard but this afternoon is much better. I am wearing a 21 mg patch but I am not convinced it is helping much.
Even though I was not able to get on here to read blogs I knew all the things you would tell me because I have been reading your blogs for over 2 yrs. now. I know that smoking just 1 will not work and will not help anything. NOPE is ingrained in my being. Plus I am sure some of you were praying otherwise I think I would have broke down at certain times.
I am more than half way through hell week. I just focus on that.
Love and hugs to all of you
Connie
