May 23, 20179 yr Some of these might be repeats but just like this morning I get so much done with no smoke breaks. One because I'm not taking smoke breaks into I don't leave for work early so I can get some smoking in. I don't have to worry about taking body spray with me or if I have gum or if I stink. I can make lunch plans and not worry about when to find time to smoke. I need a better breakfast because I feel healthier and want to eat healthier. I drink less coffee because of course that went with smoking. Just a few thoughts I've had this morning there are more. But I try to focus on these things because alternately I want to rip my own head off fighting the urge to smoke.
May 23, 20179 yr Your doing great Parsley...every time you win a urge..your winning this war... Your battles will get easier and easier... It's unbelievable how much of our time was spent wasting it smoking..
May 23, 20179 yr You are doing great, Parsley, and please don't rip your head off. Others have tried it and it did not help. Good job cutting back on the coffee, caffeine has a much greater effect when you are a non-smoker.
May 23, 20179 yr Haha. Good job, P! This completely made me laugh! All the enjoyments and then fighting that urge. Definitely don't rip your head off! I'm sure it's a lovely head!
May 24, 20179 yr Author And another day in the books! Worst stress day since quitting...life stuff. So...I told me "life stuff, smoking again will just ADD stress!" Honestly....hard to even convince myself.... What did I do? Dddrrruuugggg myself past four gas stations..went to grocery store and bought six dollars worth of raspberries! Oh crap..or not..no time to buy cigs....! Back to the office! This is so hard!!! WORTH IT AS I SIT HERE TONIGHT...NO SMOKES!
May 24, 20179 yr Proud of you P !!..raspberries don't clog your lungs..and taste so much better ..yum....
May 27, 20179 yr Funny thing is those hard days are often followed by an easy run for a day or two. You gain ground through the tough craves because you believe even more, that you can do it. This foot, that foot some days my friend but it's all good. x
