Day 8 No Smokes...

Well, I quit on New Years... New Years Eve was my last smoke and up until now, I've been totally fine with no smoking. Only because I've been so sick with... well I don't really know what it was but coughing and wheezing and fever whatnot so I figured since I couldn't really breathe, I shouldn't smoke.

Now, I'm almost well.. I still have a little cough which I'm attributing to the 8 days without smoking.. ya know when you've quit before for a week or so and your lungs would start to filter out all that gunk... I beleive the cough I have is just that.

I wanted to quit for so many reasons... the main one being that I'm 25 and I can't walk up a flight of stairs without losing my breath.. I mean come on. Besides that, I wake up every morning hacking and spewing up some dark green subtance that I am no fan of.

Anyway, as I said before I was ok with not smoking up until now because I was very sick. Well, now that I am better, I'm starting to get the urges... I find myself getting up from my desk to walk to the door often.. I'm preocupied and can't seem to focus on my work... I find myself fidgeting and drinking more (I had to buy a 2nd drink for lunch which I almost never have to do!) I'm worried that I'll give in already... and I dn't want to... I don't.. I like that I still smell like my shampoo instead of cigarettes... but still, I still feel like I might lose it...
