I have to say that so far this has been quite easy for me. I do however have the odd day when I think a lot about smoking, but most part of it has been relatively easy. It is so different to the times before, where by I have struggled constantly with never having another cigarette . I have been miserable, sad, depressed and cannot think of anything else. I am however not going to let down my guard, because I know that this may be how i feel now, but might not been the same in a few days or a few weeks, but for now i will enjoy the ride i am on.
It was a special day for me yesterday, as celebrated my 49th Birthday. Here in South Africa, we also get a public holiday as it is also Woman's Day. We had a few friends for lunch and boy do these people smoke. Constantly outside smoking. It was quite liberating to watch and witness how you become a slave to cigarettes. Not once did it cross my mind to really want one, or stress about smoking. It was like i had never smoked. Wow a big eye opener for me.
Keep up the good work everyone, and keep notching up those days.
