The first couple of weeks.

So I followed advice, read quite a bit on the website, read other's blog-posts and am still smoke free. But seriously, what is it about the first couple of weeks that is so much like getting baptised by fire?

I have read about the struggles of some of the others on the website and when it comes to perceived difficulty, my issues seem like a walk in the park and pale in comparison with what some of you guys had to go through. Aside from the usual pangs, cravings and emotional turmoils ... my car got broken into 2 days ago. I was away at a nearby state park throwing the ball for my dog and came back to my window completely shattered and some high value items stolen from my car. If I had smokes on me, I would have smoked them. I know that for sure.

I know that I always get from God what I need, not what I want. But sometimes, as crazy as it may sound, I would rather my car get broken into after one year of being nicotine free. If only I had the freedom to schedule things in my life the way I wanted them. LOL !!

Thanks to all of you guys for being here. 2 weeks tomorrow ... 2 weeks of no smoking, no nicotine gum, no patches, no nothing.
