My quit date is April 6th. So far things are going as planned. I ahve been reducing the amount I smoke by 2 cigs a day and ithas been easier than I thought. today I am at 8 cigs and only smoked 9 yesterday.
When I made plans to take next week off, I hadn't made plans to quit, but it made sense to paln my quit to coincide with my vacation as it will give me a chance to get some time under my belt before returning to work. there are no plans set in stone for next week, no schedules to meet and I am hopeful this will reduce the amount of stress that i have.
I know there will be many challenges in the coming weeks/months and I will have to learn to adapt.
May God give you the strength to make another day smoke free!!
There is no ability like adaptability.
Have a blessed day!!
John
Congratulations John!!! I took a two week vacation to get 'time' under my belt before going back to work. I went from my home on the east coast to visit family on the west coast. Took myself totally out of my element to help in the quit process by putting myself in unfamiliar territory. It was both good and bad. The first two weeks were great. Then I had to come home. For me, it was like I had to start all over again. My quit date was March 2. And I am still struggeling. Several slipps, but thank God it has not been a complete relapse like I had before.
Keep up the good work John. We are all pulling for you.
