Today is DAY 45!!!
I have quit several time before, and made it to this day. HOWEVER, I didn't have the tools (this site, quitsmokingonline.com, committment) to succeed, and I didn't.
Today, I have very little desire to smoke and I protect my quit however I can. If I get into a sticky situation around a smoker, I remove myself. It's that easy... not easy, but "doable"
Thanks to some wonderful advice I received on my last post (NML), I am discovering the new, non-smoking me. The weather has let up a bit, and I have gone on walks with my dog. It's so nice to be able to walk and not feel out of breath the entire time. I'm doing some organization around the house, and it's helped to distract me. Still looking for some new hobbies.
Socially, I am still a bit isolated. There isn't a lot to do here that doesn't involve drinking or smoking, except going to the gym or grocery store, neither of which I have much desire to do right now. I have chosen to abstain from Alcohol too, at least for now, so that also limits my options. I'm hoping nicer weather will get me outdoors and into contact with others that don't smoke.
Thank you all for helping me get here! I love to read your posts (past and present) and it really helps me get through the days.
