Hey everyone!!
It's day 4 for me (technically 3 and 1/2). I stopped Saturday afternoon so I don't really know how to count it, so I am counting from the point I stopped on Saturday as first day.
Last night was great! Couldn't believe it--I felt much better and even going to the store after work was a trip! So much more air in my lungs and I am not feeling sluggish. I didn't feel "rushed" in the store to get out of there and go get a smoke either!! I took my time and picked out good healthy snacks. YAY! So momentum has picked up on my end, I don't know how, maybe all the positive encouragement and feedback I have been getting in here - I know THAT ALONE IS A HUGE PART OF IT!!! THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've gotten some pretty bizarre responses to my announcement of quitting at work. One person, for example, said to me "Oh it's great that you are no longer abusing your body." I was like, HUH? I didn't know how to respond, so I remained silent. People are weird like that! I mean, for real. Has anyone gotten weird comments??
Well this morning was ok, but the funny thing was that I cried while I was doing my hair LOL. I don't know what came over me, it was like, I was doing fine with getting my hair done and thinking about the sun that had just started shining outside, and I went from happy camper to balling baby in 0-3 seconds. What is up with that? Anyone else losing their emotions to the wind?
Well I'm at work again and there is plenty to do, but I am very happy now and haven't cried since this morning (thank goodness!)
I see alot of people out here in the board going through their first week right now. Funny I remembered that I may have jury duty next week (oh my God I hope not) and then remember the line from the move "Airplane" 'it's like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking' LOL. Speaking of movies I can't wait to see that new movie "Thank You For Smoking". I hear it is a riot.
Well thanks for letting me ramble in here. I was also thinking about the N.O.P.E. that I've read in different posts, and I love it. I would buy the bumper sticker. I have thought of a couple this morning too. Hope you enjoy them, I don't know how good or bad they are -I may use one as my motto, or come up with more, I have to keep my brain occupied!!!
