Saturdays are hard because my whole schedule is chaotic. I am a creature of habit and routine. I am fine with that. I like structure. Quitting is a little chaotic. All the things that seem normal to me are gone.
Interesting that even things that are bad bring a comfort of familiarity.
So.. I reckon I'll be uncomfortable for until I get comfortable
PT
I agree...leaving the comfort zone is very difficult...they say give it time to give it time...trying to do that a minute and a day @ a time..have been some very uncomfortable moments but so far have weathered them.
So we both had another successful day and that is such good news!!!
I'm looking for a "new normal " too! It's hard to not have anything to inhale eventhough the nicotine gum helps. I'm trying to find some activities (and I've found some) that give me the same feeling as smoking gave me. Sofar watching TV is very helpful. I never used to watch as much as I do now.
You might also cut up some straws to fiddle with, and even to inhale a bit of nice, clean air through.
That's very helpful! Appreciated!
Before you know it, you will have a "new normal", Roll with the punches, and keep the quit!
