I just read Lori’s comments about blogging as the quit journey begins. That definitely struck a chord for me. I am generally a very private person and when I signed up I had no thoughts of blogging myself - I thought I would just read what others wrote and pick up ideas. However, I am just on day 5 of the quit journey and I have already written a few times. For me at least, Lori is right - this helps.
So far, I am making it. I think it is mostly the habit that is getting to me these days. As I am knitting I find myself thinking “I’ll have a cigarette when I finish this row.” - But I don’t 🙂 Riding my exercise bike I think “I’ll have a cigarette after this.” But I don’t. Coming out f the bathroom I look towards my chair and visualize the cigarettes and the ashtray on the table beside it. But they aren’t there and I don’t go get them. No doubt about it, this is not easy but for now I am making it through day 5 and I will take that.
