I’m still ‘on the wagon’ but it’s getting tricky. I do feel much better for not having smoked for 5 days now, but I have to admit the feelings of “I can just have one” are much stronger today. I’m not sure why my brain is so convinced that I just want one (when it knows full well that if I just have one then I’ll be back on 20 a day before you can say ‘Excuse me mate, have you got a light?’). And I will be in the pub later tonight – the first time I’ll be properly surrounded by smokers since I quit.
What’s annoying is that I keep forgetting why I’ve quit – and have to keep reminding myself – so that when I think I really want one – I have to tell myself not to. I’m fighting against myself, and it’s a most unusual situation to be in.
YEAH GOOD LCUK WITH THAT…….. IM STILL ONLY ON 6 A DAY…..
Keep up the good work!! I quit in September, and haven’t gone back…and not a day goes by that I don’t think about making an illegal U-turn from the far right lane, smashing through four lanes of oncoming traffic — JUST to buy a beloved pack of Marlboros.
And then I remember that I’m “doing the right thing” by not smoking, and I shove another cinnamon Altoid in my mouth…and I don’t make that U-turn.
GO YOU!!!!
Thanks Carol
