Ediehttps://www.quittrain.com/blogs/blog/122-edie/ Day 1 - At this very minute I am 2 hours and 15 minutes shy of my first 24 hours without a cigarette.  I feel different this time.  I am more dedicated to quitting this time.  I will see how I feel tomorrow but so far so good.

]]>enDay 3https://www.quittrain.com/blogs/entry/824-day-3/ As I begin the third day of not smoking I am faced with the hardest decision I will make during this journey.  My wife is still smoking.  So do I say it's okay if she wants to smoke in the house since it is so bitterly cold outside and it is her house too.  Or do I just say nothing.  I know she had to make the commitment to quit herself but I also know it would be so easy for me to buy a pack to "support her" which is just an excuse to go back.  I know I am not going to give up what I have accomplished so far.  I do not want to go through withdrawals again.  My headache is finally going away.  I did not get irritated yesterday.  I am feeling even stronger today.  So even though I love my wife with all my heart, I am not going to say anything.  If she asks I will even tell her I prefer she didn't because it is still a struggle for me.  I got this!!!!

 

I don't know if it is support I get here or what but I am almost excited this time and confident I can make this quit stick!
