Hit my target of 10 today. Well okay it is 9:15pm and I am at 9 smokes today, so add in my bedtime smoke and I will be at 10. My target goal.
One day at a time, one goal at a time, one step at a time.
My trick for today was to try and wait an extra five minutes before having a smoke. When you look at my schedule it doesn't look like I actually did that, but considering how many times I really wanted a smoke and waited, sometimes more than 5 minutes I think I did okay, and since I met my target goal, it must have worked.
8:00am
8:30am
9:45am
11:45am look 2 hours between smokes
1:45 pm and another 2 hours here
3:50pm and 2 hours and 5 minutes here (note the 5 minutes)
5:00 here is where I started slipping today
6:15 only and hour and 15 minutes
7:45 Almost made the 2 hours but not quite
last smoke will be about 9:45 or 10:00 so I will make my 2 hours here
Tomorrows trick is try is to stop watching the clock so much. When I want to look at the clock I need to stop and think about why I am looking at the clock. Am I looking to really see what time it is, or am I looking to see if it is time to smoke. Could be an interesting day.
Adding 5 minutes
not clock watching
Long day here I come.
What have they always said... a watched pot never boils...? Yet we're compelled to watch. Human nature, I suppose. Good luck with this one!
