Day 14!!!!!!

[mountaingirl27]

Hi guys, 

Been away from the sight a little but I still have my quit!! Today is Day 14!! Two weeks!! Yipee!!!

I feel good but battle with horrible mood swings. It is bad enough to already have a mood disorder but then quitting cigs on top of that!!!! Good thing I live alone. My therapist, Judy, says severe mood swings are still part of quitting. So, I quess things are not bad. I am enjoying a smoke-free life sooo much. 

In one book I read where if you put all the reasons for quitting on index cards and carried them with you, it would help. I have done just that and have 68 reasons to quit thus far!! I am sure you all could think up more. Anyway, when I did have a craving-I went straight to my cards. I cannot believe how much they help. Judy warns me that I still have a ways to go-that cravings will come. They do pop up when I am under stress or in "distress" but I look at my reasons to quit and I am reminded why I DO NOT want to smoke.

I do it one day at a time. That is all I can do. Everyday is like a fresh beginning especially when I start it out walking briskly in the country!! Just thought I would check in. Will be reading everyone's blog and comments for a further boost.
