Day 1: No Smoking!
Originally when I put my plan together, I had decided that I would smoke one cigarette when I woke up today, and then quit; however last night I changed my mind. Why start my quit with a cigarette right? So I broke my last cigarettes before going to sleep. Big mistake… When I woke up this morning the cravings were so bad I wanted to kill someone. I fought through it though…
I stuffed some food down my throat, took my morning Chantix and then jumped in the shower. By the time I got out, I was feeling a lot more in control; although I should have eaten more, because the nausea started kicking in. Thankfully, after a half hour or so that passed too.
I just walked from the bus stop to work, and I swear I saw about a 1000 people either smoking, lighting up a cigarette or throwing one away. Surprisingly I wasn’t too temped, so there is hope.
Even if it was tough, I think smarting the day as smoke-free is awesome (partly because it’s easier math). It does seem that the day I quit everyone in every car around me or was suddenly taking up the habit. You are doing great, and congrats on today!
