So far so good. 35hrs, 50 minutes into it and no cigarette for me.
I'm at work for the first day since I quit, so I am hoping I don't have to hard of a time. I came prepared with a ton of water, some sugra free candies, a ton of sunflower seeds. I forgot my club incase I need to beat myself senseless, but so far that hasn't been nessisary.
I have alot of thoughts about smoking, the patch helping alot to control the actual physical cravings, but that doesn't keep my mind from saying "Hey, right now, your supposed to be outside inhaling a few cigarettes". Instead of dwelling on it, I try just not to bother with the though much at all. I try to just "move on" to another though in my head. This works most of the time, but other times I wish it was easier. I try to remind myself it will get easier... but always a doubt in my head. I'm trying not to let doubts get to me this time, so we'll see how it goes.
I've also noticed every now in then, I almost jerk out of my chair to go have a cigarette here at work, because that's what I am supposed to be doing, or at least according to my old habits. It's getting tough!
Thanks,
Joel
