It's been over 3 hours since I last had a smoke. Small steps, right? I had one cig left when I got up this morning and waited 20 minutes to smoke it. That's impressive since I would always wake up and go right for that first smoke. I am ready to do this. I know it'll be hard, since I saw my folks go through it in 1992. My dad--a 3 pack a day smoker--did it on his first try. My mom took longer. She had to try four times before she finally quit 7 years ago.
Anyway...I did quit once before, in 2002, with the help of a hypnotist. It was terrible for those 72 hours. Lord, was I a horrible b****. LOL. I quit for 2 weeks, but it only took one for me to get hooked again.
But the 3 hours is a big step for me. I've thrown out the ashtray, butts and empty packs. Even took them to my trash can in the alley so I know they are gone from my home. I am not dragging myself out into this cold to go fetch them either.
