Yesterday was difficult!
I think I was almost too blasé about this not smoking thing. Blasé to
myself that is. I still haven't told anyone close to me that I've
stopped.
My wife has obviously noticed that I'm not popping outside every few
minutes
for a smoke, but she also knows me well enough to know that if I haven't
mentioned it, I don't want to talk about it.
No one at work has noticed, other than my smoking friend. And she only
knows because I don't smoke when we go out for a fag. That's the way I
like
it. It means I'm stopping just for me, not for anyone else.
I was trying to be blasé about it, and still am to a certain degree, and
although I still say to myself "Pah, this non smoking thing is easy...
after
all, it's not like I've got to remember to do anything, it's just not
doing
something, and how easy is that?", between you and me, yesterday really
was
difficult!
Then I found something on the web which said that the 3rd day is the day
you
get the most cravings, and that, immediately, made me feel better. It's
almost as if, as soon as I knew the 3rd day was difficult, it made it
easier
(I stopped at 10:30 in the morning on Sunday BTW, so yesterday was my 3rd
full day).
So, I've nearly done 96 hours now. Generally speaking, I'm still feeling
pretty good about it.
I do thank everyone here for their sup****t. I know I don't post much,
other
than to sing my own praises, but I do try and read most of the posts
(especially Polar Bear, as it's really helpful to read posts from someone
a
few days ahead of me - I'm don't know who you are Polar, but I'm proud of
you!!). The problem is that sometimes I'd simply not read, or post here
because I don't want to remind myself that I'm not smoking, if you see
what
I mean!
Anyway, that's all today.
