Day 1

[Margaretd]

I never, ever want to go back to day 1 of quitting smoking.  The only good thing about that day was that I was absolutely ready to quit.  I wanted to quit more than I wanted to smoke but it was a difficult day.  

Each day I felt more determined because I had made it smoke-free the following day.  Sometimes, I would just tell myself I was going to stay quit just for another hour, and then, (I said to myself) I am going to smoke.  The hour would come and go and I did not smoke.

 I never want to go through that again because it was hard and uncomfortable, but mostly, I don't want to go back to day 1 because I really don't know if I have the strength to go through the quitting process again. I think I'll just stay quit for today.   Day l drawing - this is how I felt all day - drawing 2 is how I feel now
