My Happy Place

1st off, is everyone having problems with comments? I have gone back twice to log in (usually I don't have to log in, but there is no "add comment" option on the blogs I'm reading.

Yesterday I had 4 weeks of freedom and in reflecting, I'm amazed at how much easier this quit has been so far. I know I have a long time to go in NML. 1 thing that has been working well is distraction. I have been staying busy all day. I don't even know how I had the time to go outside and smoke 30-40 cigs/day. It seems like, as soon as a craving enters my brain, something else I want or need to do over rides it. Also, when I have looked a little deeper into the crave, I realize I don't want to smoke. It's becoming an aversion.

It just amazes me how ever quit can be do different.

Hope y'all are having fantastic smoke free days!
