it will have been 85 hours since i’ve had a cigarette.
i haven’t decided if i’m going to smoke this weekend. i’ve been vacillating between wanting one *now* and thinking that it might just stick this time. i haven’t gotten any of the initial benefits of non-smoking yet, other than the improved morning breath. my sense of smell hasn’t returned, nor does anything taste significantly better. i’m blaming that on the slight stuffy nose i’ve had for the last week, though.
i’ve actually done rather well this week. yeah, i can hear you: “three days, man. that’s not quitting.” shut up. my victory may not be majestic, but it’s mine. even if i smoke a pack this weekend i know i’ll be able to put them away during the week again. that was my first milestone: not smoking when i’m alone.
Good for you, Heather! I quit back in September, and it was just a day by day decision to not smoke. And I had cut down to like three a day, because I wouldn’t smoke in my car, my apartment, or at work. It helps to limit where and when you smoke, if you can. At least it helped me…. good luck, hon!
Yes, good luck, definitely! And I say three days is a huge milestone. I’m proud of myself if I don’t smoke for three HOURS, let alone three days. I don’t have the willpower to take it on, so revel in your strength. Heh. ;-)
yeah, three days is still quite an accomplishment. i’m proud of you. cheers!
my dad quit 30 years of smoking by chewing gum and it was hard work for him. i think it was juicyfruit.
I’m proud of your three day accomplishment.
