Good morning folks. Day 5 is here and I am not worried about it. I made it through Day 4 without much trouble, though I did have a reflex on a couple of occasions while at my computer or watching TV to actually reach for a cigarette. It was a reflexive action. But so far, so good.
Feeling stronger in my resolve because I am reading up about a lot about people who have gotten sick and died from this. Everybody says it never occurred to them that it could actually happen to them. That is how i have always felt. Its not in my family even though almost everybody smokes. Then one day they go to the doctor for something else or a minor complaint and, boom, they have Stage IV lung cancer with metasasis. Then either they die right away or they go through living hell, then they die. This is happening to my very best friend right now, who was diagnosed a month ago. I have a photo of her from my daughter's wedding in December and she looks beautiful and healthy.
I guess this is not a very good morning post. What a way to start the day. However, I have to say that all of this reading is making me stronger in my resolve never to smoke again. Also, I did not know that relapse can happen from a single puff, so that is now off the table.
Anyway, have a great day all of you wonderful people who have helped me so much in accomplishing this difficult feat. Your support is so helpful and I am very grateful for it.
