So today is day 6 and it appears to be going well. As I look back through my blog it appears to be a roller coaster, one day good, one day bad. Today is a good day. I have got to say I feel stronger as each day passes. I still am doing things like walking away from people that smoke, trying to avoid it. It is funny because sometimes it smells good and other times I am hacking from the smell. The other night I was riding with my friend and she lit up and it just smelled rancid. LOL I was rolling down the window halfway like people used to do when I smoked and they didn't but hey what are you going to do. I will not become one of those horrid reformed smokers who shove it down your throat whether you want to hear it or not. Last night I had a dream that I lit up and I was so dissappointed in myself and hated the taste to boot. I thought it was a little early for one of those dreams but I think passing day 5 was a big thing for me mentally, believe it or not. I continue to drink water and take my walks. I think that is helping alot this time. I think in my previous quits I would not take a break at work and I would not take a lunch, I was too scared to go out and bump into a smoker and smoke so I did not take any breaks. So that was not really a positive thing and the funny thing is I went and smoked anyways. Go figure. So this time I am better prepared. If I am out on a walk, I try to sidestep the smoker, it's funny how I can smell it now. Now I know what my daughters have been complaining about all these years! Also my boss is on vacation so that relieves stress and I have had time to read other peoples blogs during the day. Today is a good day, my confidence is great but i am prepared for the rollercoaster, tomorrow may or may not be a bad day. Perhaps I should run a lotto? lol. But seriously I want to thank everyone on this site for being here, especially those who have quit for a year or more and continue to share their wisdom. I will blog later or tomorrow. Have a great smoke free day everyone!
