Good morning my friends,
My ritual in the morning has totally been changed up as it should be. In order to slay the nicotin dragon I have gave up my steadfast morning routine. I use to sit in my favorite chair with my cup of coffee and do my devotions. This past week and a half I could not focus for the life of me. In the beginning week, I wander around the house in a fog like I lost my best friend.
It's funny because I am very interested in my health. I exercise, take vitamins and tried for the past year to get rid of sugar. It's really dumb that I kept smoking poison on a daily basis which totally defeats health. One thing I did do the first day of the quit was go the vitamin store and get some raw honey and coconut oil. I use a spoonful of each in my coffee. So, the first morning of the quit - every sip I took, I got the benefit of moist lips like I used coconut carmex. It kinda threw the crave off a bit when I was drinking coffee.
Another thing, I would never get on my computer in the morning as I was too busy. Now - I can't wait to use my computer in the morning, noon and nite - it is what has kept my mind busy and my hands active so I don't even think about smoking. It is so positive to be on this site as I have received an education (one I never wanted) on smoking. I have met so many wonderful people and get to hear stories to help me in my quit. Thank you everyone for all the wisdom, positive advice and tips to go forward today with a positive attitude in my quit.
Yesterday, the first time so far I was on an eating binge. I do not want to repeat that today. I do not eat fast food. Lesson 1 - I will not bring so many snacks to work. Lesson 2 - I will not go to McDonald's after work, I came home last night, everyone was gone and ate an angus burger, fries and downed a chocolate shake. I felt like the stay puff marshmellow man. I was sick and felt like I was gonna bust. Then, I wanted a cigarette. It made me very mad. I grabbed the book reader and started to read Alan Carr's book - it soothed me. Plus, I got to use a book reader for the first time, that was cool. Thank you guys for the link.
So now, I need to get off this computer and continue my morning workout. For some crazy reason, I wasn't done yet and got on here - my new addiction. And I thought the focus was coming back - I think it will still take some time on that. I can be talking to someone and forget what I'm saying.
Also, is insomnia for the first weeks normal?
I can't wait until I am in triple digits . . . I will keep hanging on to you my peeps.
Peace, Hugs and Love for a wonderful Thursday.
