I cannot believe how fast time is going. I am actually excited to be quitting. Quit date is October 30th and I will be starting Chantix October 13th. I have finally started taking notes of when I smoke, why I smoke and what can I do instead of smoke. This morning as usual I took my dog out to relieve herself and this morning I choose not to take a cigarette out with me as I normally do. I know taking my dog out is a routine I cannot stop, but I can and will choose not to take a cigarette out with me. I did fine this morning doing just that. I let my dog loose in the yard and just sat and watched her and enjoyed the morning sunrise as well. I made the choice not to smoke and in all honesty once I was out the door I did fine. I did not think "oh I should be smoking" I did not have a desire to smoke and did not even think about it until I got back into the house and I grinned at myself saying "that was not bad at all".  didn't even light up until an hour later when I was getting in my truck to go to the store.

Next trip out (tomorrow) I will start working on the why's and what and what to do instead. It's not like I need to think hard on those, but just work on making the decision not to light up in the truck

I quit smoking Oct 31st 2017. It was hard, I had rough moments, but even with my husband and roommate smoking I kept from smoking since I decided to do it for me. Aug 7th 2018 my husband quit smoking. September 18 my world was turned upside down as my husband died in front of me. February 19, 2019 I quit..it took a few tries after my husband passed, but I am no longer a smoker.
