8 DOF

It's been rough, real rough at times. Thankfully not 24/7. It is getting easier. A little tough in the mornings. What has amazed me most is how fast that 8 days flew by. If only everyone, including me in the past, could realize how doable this is. 

Cravings pass. They never kill us unlike the alternative. As long as I get busy with something when a crave starts, it passes without me ever being conscious of it!

Scott called me this morning just to tell me how proud he is of me. Sun. was my 3mo. AA birthday. I am feeling so much better. My head is clear and I do want to shout from the roof. However I think my days of climbing to the roof are over.

.I am using patches. I haven't decided if I'll quit using them in 2 mo. or go ahead and use them through NML. I'll see how it's going when that time comes because I will be on the 7mg patch and it kind of seems like why waste the money.

I am wishing everyone a great smoke-free day. I am choosing to enjoy my blessings including all of you.
