I made it to day 21! It is an important one, because apparently, something in my brain has now reverted back to that of a non-smoker. Here is a link of the timetable explaining the process.

I feel like today is a big accomplishment. I can't lie - I still get cravings, but they aren't anywhere as strong as they used to be. I think I will probably always get them. This is kind of a danger zone too, because you have convinced yourself you have quit. So, it sounds easy to justify having one. " I know I can quit now, so I can have one occasionally, if I really want to". I am not going to give into that thought, because I know where it will lead me. I had a moment of truth on Saturday. I was detailing my car and way under the seat was a pack of Cigarettes. Camel No. 9. Those were my love! And of course there was just one in it. I must have missed that one & bought another pack at some point. My mind was like....." I got this.......I can have this one, no big deal - but instead I immediately crushed it and threw if away. FU Camel No 9!! I like to breath without an oxygen tank.............which I would have at some point, if I didn't quit. You might not get cancer, but emphysema or COPD is almost certain. Those diseases make you feel like you are being suffocated. I'm choosing not to have them! Thanks to everyone who has supported me on this endeavor. If I can do it, anyone can.
