Day 19

Day 19, 10 days smoke free

I havent smoked in 10 days, it hasnt been easy even with the aid of our little blue friend. But 10 days, thats pretty cool to me and I am quite pleased with myself!

It is a Monday, the start of a new week, start of a new season and life is good.

Tquit had returned from the start of his "season", seaming in good spirits and sounding like a non smoker. I often go back to his old posts to see what he was rabbiting on about at my stage and we are roughly at the same pace. There is hope for me yet!

I loved how T described watching a sunset of a beautiful evening filling the sky with redness. I have been lucky enough to see some of the best sunsets in the world and the addition of a cigerette made it all that bit more special. I too could give back many many cigerettes, literally thousands of them. But there are a few that will be missed like T's sunset smoke or my ponder smoke. If I have ever had a problem that I cannot get around, I would go outside, consider all the options pacing up and down whilst pulling at a cigerette. By the time I am finished my cig, a decision will be made. Those are the cigerettes I will miss.

Kath and Poet have reduced their smoke intake which is great but I agree with Tquit, its time to eat the bear. Cut out those important smokes like the morning and post meal ones and the rest will follow suit. Do what I did, pick a quit day, tell everyone, get ridiculously drunk the night before so that you are so ill on your quit day that the meer mention of a cig would make you vomit and thats half your withdrawel done!! As you know from my daily rants the rest is still hard but its all in my head. We are all here to support each other!

I was going to go on a coffee rant next but I might save that for later .. dont want to alienate everyone in one swift post!

Nice relaxed day today

Until next time, keep popping
