1st day

24 hours done, 1st am without coffee & cigarette so I'm having coffee & typing 🙂 hmm this is useful. Of my many quits over these many decades of smoking, the 1st day is relatively easy it's the ones following that progressively get more difficult. Yesterday morning after my last cigarette, my last butt smoked and thrown away, and ash trays cleaned and put away I decided to go ahead and use the patch. OOF forgot about dreaming on the patch, yikes terrible nightmares! I wonder how common vivid dreaming is for other folks on the patch? The other part of quitting I knew was coming is I get really dingy, must check twice did I lock the door/turn off the teapot/mindful where I put my keys. The projects I've lined up take little thinking & I've never had this luxury in the past due to work load. Wishing all of us who keep trying my best wishes for success, the quality of our lives WILL change!

Recently retired at 69 which means I've smoked for over 50 years! Serial quitter like many of you, this time it's different. I've never had an opportunity to stay this present in a quit. In reading old posts of mine, I welcomed feeling everything & do I ever! All feelings are heightened good/bad/indifferent. I've lived in the Sierra foothills since 2003, very happy to be retiring here and be addiction-free.
