My name is Alejandro. I quit smoking a week ago. I've been using the patches and fighting triggers with the gum. Been out of gum the last few days but still doing good. I'm certainly happy its been a week. The first three days where tough!
I'm trying to replace bad habits with good ones. So usually i would spend about 6 dollars a day on my bad habit. So i totalled it out to close to 30 dollars a week and decided to have a 30 dollar used book shopping spree on Amazon.com.
Its awesome. Already recieved two books. I'm trying the whole reward yourself for not smoking thing and its working. Hopefully I will stop ashing my cookies and packing my gum soon!
Anyways to add to my determination to succeed I enrolled in Tobaccofreeflorida counseling thing provided by the American Cancer Society. Had a good 25 minute chat with a counselor which was uber helpful. She's going to call back and check in on Tuesday. I was even elligable for 8 weeks of nicotine gum for free. Major kudos!
Well enough babbling! Everyone can do this! Replace your bad habit with a good one! I'm turning into a bookworm!
Seeeeee ya
Alejandro
