Great Job.. and the take out, movie.. jelly & ice cream sound like a plan.
 
I read some place..  That it takes 21 days to  CHANGE a habit.  we know we will have craves and urges.. and i had some pretty good ones before "milestones"  but NOW  you are learning the skill and Tools to use .. to say NO and NOPE  and No thnk you I don't smoke.. you are now looking at yourself as a non-smoker.. ... stay strong You are doing a GREAT JOB

I had a good sleep last night, and I woke up late this morning so I was rushing this morning and I was out with clients all day and I can't believe I'm home already. The day just flew by! I barely thought about smoking today and the anxious feeling seems to have died down for now! I still have lots of housework and ironing to do..... but.... I think I'll put it on the long finger for one more night! I enjoyed doing nothing last night and I'll enjoy it tonight as well! Take out, movie, jelly and ice-cream! Bath and bed. Thats my plan! I picked up the zyban on the way home from work. A part of me was thinking that I can do without it and that I'll be ok, but I reckon I could just use the fact that I'm not taking zyban to justify a slip so I'm not taking that risk! I'm feeling much happier today, tired but happy! I'll check in later!!

I love the way you're consistently pushing away these aggravations and potential triggers and just sticking to your guns!

I choose life,
 
Excellent journaling and preparation!  Get some rest and wake up to a brand new day.  You'll be on day 22 and this is commendable.  Do what it takes to burn off that extra energy and keep moving.  Make sure you keep those relaxation ideas handy for the night, it will help you ease into sleep!

Hey, I got through another day and again, it was tough!! I forgot to say it but yesterday I went to the pharmacy to get my months prescription of zyban because I had only one left and they said they'd have to order it in! I didn't even think that they'd have to do it cos they just had it the first time! I went to 4 other places but it was the same. So I had no zyban today, still feel quite edgy. But I'm in pj's now and too tired to go out so I know that theres no chance of smoking tonight! I need to figure out why I'm so anxious. Its like an adrenalin rush, you know, if you're walking down the street and you think that there's danger, I'm just so on edge. I should really start doing some exercise or yoga to try and calm myself because i don't think this is going to be good for me. I'm so tense and I'm so tired and my whole body is just aching and I'm feeling very sorry for myself at the moment. I booked a massage on saturday and it will be lovely. I've loads of housework to do, and ironing but not tonight, i'm going to have a bath with lots of bubbles and lavender oil and candles, then I'm gonna come downstairs and sit in front of the fire and I'm going to find a good book and curl up in bed with a mug of creamy hot chocolate and have a good rest and start tommorrow off on a good note. Hmmm, I feel better already just thinking about that!
