18 days!

[lackluster]

YESSS! 18 days, 18 days, 18 days! I never dreamed I could do this well! It's so .. satisfying .. to know that I've come this far. 😄

The past couple mornings have been rough though. I've woken up desperately wanting a cigarette. I usually just try to ignore the craving, let it pass, and move on. The cravings are farther apart now. I still get that urge. But when I look at my "smoking fingers" and realize they're not stained anymore, I get a boost. Every couple days, I notice that my teeth are getting slightly whiter. I notice I don't reek like cigarettes anymore, and I haate the way smokers smell now. But, I do get really antsy now and then. Or really cranky. And I don't know if this is normal - but sometimes it feels like my heart is going to pound right out of my chest, for a couple seconds at a time, then it goes back to its regular beating.

It'll be 3 weeks soon .. and I'm so excited! I'm going to take myself out for a treat that day. 🙂
