July 30, 201412 yr Today has been an easy-peasy day. Amazingly so. I had a sugar-free nicotine-free chewing gum or two this morning, and that was it. I didn´t fancy a Spanish nicorette, and I just stopped chewing and moved on with my life. I was busy. My friend sent me a horrible video in FB. The one about the tar in 400 cigs... I´ll post it separately. That put me off smoking again big time. And happy with my 20-day quit. Yeepee! So I´ve been to two meetings with smokers, one outside and another in their office. I entered their office and it hit me (yuck, these people smoke in here... and probably think that they can get away with it?). All I could think of is how happy I am with my 20 days´ quit. It is even better today because the last two or three days were just evil. Today was beautiful. I can do this! Thank you for being there for me! I thought I would share the bliss. And the knowledge that days DO GET BETTER! :-)
July 30, 201412 yr Aww Susana so pleased today was good for you, it makes it so much better when you smell a smoker and think puewwwww I used to smell like that but guess what I don't any more, the actual smell of nicotine in the early days used to make me gag and crave both at the same time, weird eh , but I can sit with smokers now and it doesn't bother me, 20 days is absolutely awesome you are doing great, believe me when I say it just gets better and better, this non smoking life sure does rock xx
