I quit smoking today

I have a hard time not thinking about this whole quit process and in thinking about it, it reminds me of cigarettes and then I get cravings. How do I stop thinking about it ALL THE TIME? This happened to me before when I quit for 7 weeks. How do I stop thinking???????

I past a test today

I went to our VFW bar to work on our monthly newsletter. Five feet from the door I smelled that awful order of cigarette smoke, which I did not remember smelling before. I went inside and almost wanted to throw up. But, I stayed the course and worked for about 3 1/2 hours. Not one smoke, not even a desire to smoke. Strange. This is life as a non-smoker! So, I ate Taco Bell for supper!

An Upcoming Challenge

One thing I have learned that I keep remembering...smoking does not relieve stress. How can it relieve stress and make you calm as well?
 
Just a thought. And December 13th is my birthday. My birthday wish is for you to get through this successfully and empowered!

Thanks for the support and the word of caution but I was just so very proud of myself if I do say so myself!

Day 7...hell week almost behind me

Thanks Rock and Jason. Now I am into Day 9. Yesterday I rewarded myself with Taco Bell for dinner! I went to a smokey place and did not smoke or want to. I love the little rewards but do look forward to all the big ones!
 
Thanks again,
