Good morning everyone!

[constanceclum]

Today is starting out better. Not so much fatigue. I hope it stays that way as I start day 4. I do like the fact that, while quitting, some periods of time are better than others. Again God doing for us what we can't do for ourselves. I don't know if I could do this if every single moment was miserable. Of course the patch helps and the occasional lozenge. I am using between 3 and 5/day and I plan off getting off them when I run out. The patches I will wear for 10 weeks. I have 6 weeks of 21mg. and then I will start weaning off.

I smoked for 45 yrs. and I will give myself time to get over it. It just makes me so happy to not be smoking at all because, for me, the psychological addiction is much tougher.

I almost forgot, I went outside yesterday to put food/water down for my cats as well as the strays (my cats also have food/water inside) and my husband had left a whole cig on the plant table. I didn't rip it up AND I didn't smoke it. When he came home from work I reminded him to not do that again or I will tear it up. I learned though that I will be tested and I can say "I don't do that anymore".

I hope everyone has a great smoke-free day!
