Today I started my stop smoking before the end of March program. It is now almost 9:00pm and I have had 10 smokes today. To be honest I will have one more before I go to bed tonight, so that will be a total of 11 smokes today. Not bad for a start. I bought 2 paks today instead of a carton. I already have the first pack divided into 2. I got 11 smokes today because I still had some left over from yesterday. I think I get 11 tomorrow as well, then the next pack I can divided evenly into 10 each. Here are the times I smoked today
7:30am just after getting out of bed
8:30am before taking Alexia to school
9:00am in the truck on the way to work after dropping Alexia off (habit)
10:15am break from work
11:45am break from work
12:45pm break from work
2:45 pm before I left work so I wouldn't smoke in the truck on the way home
4:45 pm This one was hard to wait for, I usually have a smoke with the dog when I get home work but today I waited
6:00 pm Did not take my smokes next door with me when we went to visit the neightbors (on purpouse) waited until we got home to have a smoke
8:15 pm Did not have a smoke right after dinner which is good for me, I usually get up from the table and go right outside for a smoke. Tonight I waited. I did have to go take a nice hot relaxing bath to keep my mind off of it, and to be sure to stay within my time limits
I will have my last smoke about 10:00 tonight, just before bed.
Not to bad for the first day. Only smoked one in the truck which is where I really need to stop smoking the most. I do a lot of smoking in my truck. That is where my challenge will be, that and after work at home.
Almost half way to a non smoking life for me in one day.
Oh I have no illusions that there will not be slips and slids along the way, somedays are jsut worse than others, but today was a good start.
I am so excited for you! I love the journal like entry format. I love the title. Love it! Will check in on your progress as often as I can during tbe day. Yea for you!
