I eliminated all but my morning coffee cig last week. My goal is to get up, have my coffee and get on with my day without that one cigarette this week. Day 1 of this week, so far, so good. Nicotene gum and lots of ice water is really helping me. Driving, visiting with friends who dropped by, morning coffee, meals....lol.....I have SO many triggers! I'm grabbing the gum and ice water and taking deep breaths. NOW, instead of reassuring myself by having a pack of cigs somewhere in the house, tho, I am trying to be sure I have plenty of gum. Oh well..the gum isn't much more expensive than a carton of cigarettes and nobody else wants it! 😉 With the cigarettes, it seems like there was always someone wanting to "bum" them! So I tell myself to enjoy frustrating the "moochers"! I think one of the reasons my adult live in daughter and her "difficult" teen have been so non-supportive is cause it was so convenient for them to have me around to mooch from! 😉 My other two, older daughters are involved in their own stop smoking efforts, encouraged by mom FINALLY dealing with her addiction! 😉
