Hi everyone,
Hope all is well with my fellow exes. I'm 11 days down. Things are going better all the time. I still have my moments but they're less strong, less frequent. Being around smokers is NOT hard for me luckily because my husband smokes. I sing in the car, can't sing and smoke, sing when I cook (ooo how I loved that glass of wine and cigs when I cooked!) First time I do anything is hard even if I did not smoke doing that thing I LOVED the cig after it! Still crave that cig. How sick is that? I TRULY did not know how much of my life was controlled by cigs. Wow. I just told someone though that taking the reigns back in your life feels better than any cig tastes and I mean that. Rediculous habit anyway, roll up a plant, put it in your mouth and set fire to it, spend a ton of money to do it, too. Idiotic.
My sleep still stinks most nights but I find I need less sleep. Used to sleep 6-7 hours and do well, lately have needed 8-10 hours to feel rested, now I'm back to 6-7 when I sleep through the night. Body is adjusting slowly to be honest. Sense of smell has not heightened nor taste. Did notice smoker's breath for the first time (OH! YUCK! That's what I smelled like) Emotions are a little better, still weepy when I normally wouldn't be.
Daughter back from honeymoon. I told her I quit, she was very happy and said "You're kidding! Tom and I promised to quit monday!" SOOOO hard not to push too hard. I told her about this site, though.
Well, thanks for letting me talk. It helps me to keep walking down the right path.
