And i feel fabulous! I just know in my heart that I will never EVER smoke again. I want to sometimes, but its not a feeling of actually wanting a cigarette...its more like i feel like there is something missing. Or like I am not as COOL as I used to be. haha. which is really funny because the whole James Dean thing went out in the 50's no? And I'm not even a dude, let alone a dude with a motorcyle...
Many positive things have happened in the last four weeks. I stopped smoking, I started exercising (jogging 2.5 miles 3-4X a week and doing pilates on my off days...who woulda thunk?). It was really really hard to go out drinking the first couple of weekends...and I think I'm finally over that now too! I went out for my birthday last Friday and didn't feel like I wanted to run away the whole time (which is what happened the first few times I went out). I smell great now, and my sense of smell is 100X stronger! People are surprised and proud of me, and that feels good too. Oh yeah, and I went on my first long car ride on Saturday without even an urge! I thought that was going to be the hardest thing of all 🙂
Anyway, my message is this: if I can do it, so can you! It really does get easier and you really will get stronger every day. Hang in there and protect your quit with all your heart!
