Today was the first day (DAY 😎 that I didn't wake up thinking about cigarettes. Last night was one of the few nights I didn't dream about them. It actually IS getting easier. I know there are going to be good days and bad, but I have to say most of them have been pretty good 🙂
I also have been able to watch all of the annoying/disgusting/confusing anti-smoking commercials that are on TV now. I used to turn them off as fast as possible out of guilt, denial, disgust with myself. Now I can watch them like its nothing!
Also, though I am not a full-blown hypochondriac, I have an inexplicable and pervasive fear of blood clots. Knowing that I have reduced my risk for blood clots by a significant amount makes me much less paranoid (especially when indulging in the peace pipe).
I've chewed only 3 pieces of nicorette and its already 3 in the afternoon, so I believe I will taper off of that in a few weeks also. I am cautious yet optimistic...I will protect this quit with all my heart...and I WILL NOT SMOKE!
CONGRATS TO EVERYONE FOR BEING HERE...KEEP YOUR QUIT!
