June 10, 201511 yr So here I am, a couple days out. I haven't really struggled per se, just an odd pang or longing here or there. Whenever I start to think that I want one, I just try to remind myself I don't actually want one, but my stupid junkie brain does. Anyway, today I'm sitting on my front porch, enjoying the sunshine, the breeze and the birds. I didn't think I would be able to sit out here without a smoke. But I am! Hoping that every day just gets easier and easier.
June 10, 201511 yr You sound great about it :) I love this!! For all the times it feels a bit tougher there is also the euphoric times when you feel like it's an epic win and I don't think you ever appreciate that can happen until you've quit! You are giving yourself the best gift here Nixter. Maybe try and write a list of all the reasons you don't want to smoke to carry with you, then if you feel yourself wobble you can simply read your own words to re-assure yourself that not smoking is your best idea to date. xx
June 10, 201511 yr That's awesome Nixter, just sitting out, enjoying the lovely fresh air...! You really are doing great, and I'm sure all your friends and family are really proud of you right now :) Like you say, it does get easier over time, and each time you get past one if those stupid junkie craves, you will be a bit stronger for it. Keep going, and stay close :)
