OK. My last blog was a tad erratic, and I am totally blaming it on nicotine withdrawals. I thought I would give everyone an update on how my attempt-to-quit-smoking challenge was faring. I will try to get back to normal blogging about other stuff that's way more interesting and funnier than my weaknesses and ridiculous loserish habits.....but I guess it's ok to talk about my meltdowns, because it is my blog.
Today is Day 32 without smoking, and I'm feeling great!
So far I think I'm doing rather well. I've done it 'cold turkey'.........without any turkeys being harmed! The first 4 days completely sucked, and I think the entire first week is what I'm going to try to recall every single time I think I might want a smoke, because I DO NOT want to go through that again.
I'm trying not to be too hard on myself about it, because there is a very good chance I will mess up at some stage. I have made it through a few possible "light-up" situations without succumbing, so I'm quite proud of myself. I did spend a good amount of time trying to mentally prepare myself to stop, and for about 18 months prior, I was hoping for a dose of the flu as a catalyst. It didn't happen...... I am grateful not to have been really sick though!
I still don't think I look better, but I do feel better....so much better that I'm quite happy about the fact that I don't look better, and I'm happy about how I DO look. Does that even make sense? Not really......but I feel better, so it doesn't even matter if I make sense or not. I have put on a bit of weight due to replacing nicotine with as much sugary junk food as I can get my hands on, but I am getting that habit under control aswell......sort of.
...............to be continued.................
