Oh those Down Days - They will Pass
There will be those down days when we do not seem to know what to do with ourselves. This is the in-between, state, in-between the terrible two's and "Oh, yes I did use to smoke, didn't I". The in-between state say to me, you are done smoking however smoking can come to mind more often than we might expect.
Oh the in-between state, kind of like being in limbo. You have exercise good coping skills and attitude to get to this point and it always help to recite your reasons for quitting. The longer you stay quit the easier it does get you know. Smoking gave us something to do with our hands, mouth and mind. You really do lose and forget the smoking mannerism with time. In fact time is our healer and to make it easier for you, find a way to use your time productively.
Do things that makes you feel good about yourself. Accomplish things be it as small as taking a walk around the block, painting a room in the house, or getting into a full blown exercise routine. So, so many things to choose from, find the things that fit you. We know what the key is, "smoking is not part of your vocabulary or thoughts anymore". It does not exist for you anymore. Others might smoke, but it is not part of your world. Condition and tune your mind; we all have this ability.
Count your lucky stars that you have done this for yourself. Looking forward, watching you grow, extending your lives, and making those that love you happy and proud.
Good day
