So today I decided that I would update my list of triggers. The crossed through are the ones that I have overcome. Just a few more to go. Week one was killer. The psychological aspect of it kicked my butt more than anything. I'm sure my husband was just wanting to hide away from his ticking-time-bomb, mood swingy wife. However, he survived and so did I. By day 10 I actually started to quit thinking about counting days. I just realized, I don't want to smoke. At all.
I did have my first day of big stress last Thursday, it was really really difficult. Especially because I could see a student outside taking a drag off his cigarette and thought to myself that all I had to do was ask for one.
The hardest part is fighting with yourself when you're bargaining to have a cigarette. It kinda makes you feel a little crazy.
