I did it- I made it through my morning commute and lunch time smoke free. I’m not *craving* anything… but my breathing and head does feel funny- sleepy. Oddly like I’m on a caffeine crash. Someone must have put decaf in the coffee maker.
*had to share* When I get home I’m going to drink a vat of green tea and try to distract myself from urges (should I have any).
Update: I took a nap on the sofa early in the evening and woke up a little grumpy, went to have a smoke… went for an energy mint instead and I’m feeling better. I’ve also swapped out my night cap for water/green tea. Two crutches I fell back on since my eldest, Ash, moved. I guess it’s time for the crutches to go away. How will I deal with the quiet, lonely evenings? The same way I had been, except no glass of wine or cigarette. I’ll be lonely… but at least I’ll smell nice.
Update: Still doing great. I even stood outside for a bit and sat where I normally would have lit up. No cravings. I didn’t even need to pop a mint. It’s only the first lap, I guess I can’t pat myself on the head too much. I’m thinking of taking up some martial arts or kick boxing as soon as I get it all out of my system… or perhaps it’ll help me get it out of my system faster.
