Day 5.....No Nicotine 2 hours in

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I woke up at my normal time of noon today.  Been having trouble getting to bed at a decent hour lately.  So today, I hit another milestone.  It's 1:54 pm as I'm writing this, I have been up for almost 2 hours.  I finished my school work, and I still have not had a lozenge.  I decided that my school work was more important than nicotine right now.  I am feeling a little foggy headed, but it wasn't enough to keep me from completing my work.  Everyday I set a new small goal in my quit journey, and everyday I succeed with that goal and keep it as a learned behavior.  I am about to pop a lozenge and head out the door to go buy some clothes.  40 cigarettes not smoked (based on my 8 a day), that's 17.64 - 4.25 (cost of lozenges used) = 13.39 saved.  It's a start, not to mention all the future health costs I'm saving on.    Everyone have a great day!

I've had previous substance abuse issues, but have been clean from that for 3 years now, and working hard everyday to stay away from cigarettes.
