So here is the funny part.......in my past attempts to quit, I had often thought about starting a blog or more like an online journal if you will.....so this is pretty darn cool I must say :D Destiny maybe?? Day 3 of not smoking........actually 36 hours as of 10:07am this morning......feeling pretty good, actually spectacular.....breathing is getting better and overall just plain feel good including my attitude. This can actually be a dangerous time for me as in the past, I have said to myself......"you're doing good! Lets have 1 to celebrate" :o So, with that being said, I did have a IWAC thought this morning but dismissed by going walking and doing other things.......it has passed and I no longer want one.........(PS: I have smokers who live in the same household so its not hard to smoke at all--smoking is not allowed in the house tho) Bought a couple books today to read when I finish the one Im currently reading.........thanks to another suggestion on here I will be reading more to help detour my mind to better things.......also bought a crossword book. Its been my experience that if I dont occupy my mind, it can go a little berserk with the smoking thing (and just overthinking in general) so the more things I do that occupy it, the better........Last night I colored while I listened to the subliminal no smoking video and that was pretty cool if anyone else is interested in trying that method to help :)

Really?!? I'm going to try... Picture from trip to Swiss Alps a few weeks ago.

We did it in a small pontoon boat - 20 people. Got right into some of the caves along the coast. Spinner dolphins jumping all over the place, turtles too. It was unbelievably beautiful and awe-inspiring! So rugged yet so spectacularly beautiful at the same time!

Did the helicopter without doors tour. Got some great pics.

Napali Coast - I'd recognize that anywhere - spectacular !!

^ So it is! Pic from 2016 vacation.

Much simpler to post up pics now, that's for sure.

Love the choices for the Like!

Nope!!!

This turned out better than Bakon's last makeover.

NOPE

That's it Lisa. These early days are for developing a tool-box of tricks YOU can use to help get by the early part of your quit. Distractions and other activities are key in helping you through those early days. It sounds as if you have learned probably the most important thing and that is to never fool yourself into believing you can have just one! That's why the daily commitment to N.O.P.E. is SO critical. Keep going forward Lisa - you're doing GREAT!

Monday morning after staying up late and drinking too much beer...
