day 17

Felt really good to hit two weeks of being smoke free.  Things have gotten a lot easier and I was hoping they would stay that way but the last day or two I find myself thinking about smoking quite a bit more.  I am strong and won't give in to the temptations, but it makes this harder than it was before.  It sems weird to me that it was hard, then really easy, and now it's getting a little hard again.  It can be something as simple as I am sitting on the couch reading and all of a sudden I want one.  I have found that going for walks has helped me quite a bit, maybe it's the cold Wisconsin air I'm not sure, but now I am watching a three year old during the day so I can't just sneak off for a walk whenever I want.  I can't turn to reading because then I am not giving her my attention.  Trying to ween her off tv so I have to keep her entertained.  Which at times can be a little irritating.  I will remain strong and continue with my quit.  It feels good to be quit and I want to stay that way.

the craves come and go. they are associated with the things you did while smoking that you do now without smoking.

 

get through 4  months and you pretty much forget about smoking

way to go! It does get harder some days, but then it gets better again!

Keep breathing, and doing whatever you can to take your mind off it! Take good care of yourself and be gentle wit yourself! What we are doing is not easy! Give yourself a hug and just continue on being a non smoker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
