Cognitive Quit Smoking

Hi everyone
Day 2’s gone well - I’m still feeling spacey, but in a way it’s not
too bad - everything seems to ‘roll off’ me. That’s me focussing on
the positives of the situation! I went to bed early last night,
tired out, woke up a few hours later and had a quick natter to Indi
on ICQ, went back to sleep, and work early. Have to admit, my first
thought was having that first cig of the day, but did yesterdays
exercise i.e. warming up the computer while I made a drink, then sat
reading the posts while I drank that cuppa (hmmm, i enjoy tea on its
own as well). Loads to read too, and I loved the post from Gail.
Colin laughed his head off - he empathised with Steve alright.
Again, that ciggy-urge moved past me, so I reckon this routine is
going to be a good one for me.
Anyway, I got myself moving after that - usual pattern of lounging
about has been replaced with a new routine of getting the dishes

washed, tidying up, and going out to pick up some food shopping.
the cafe in the supermarket is ‘no smoking’ anyway, so that wasn’t
an issue for me.
Non-smoking visitors this afternoon, and I was never comfy smoking
infront of them anyway - always felt awkward - so again I didn’t
think about cigs really.
I feel a bit ‘antsy’ now though, not sure what to do with myself.
No ccoking tonight, we’re having a chinese takeaway, so in
missing ’something’ I’m sitting here tapping away on the keyboard
instead. I did my first ABC, and also got going on another list
Steve suggested I start on. Love doing lists - they help me lots,
and I did ok with the last one too.
I’m feeling good, pretty excited about this quit. Day 3 tomorrow -
who’d have believed it. My kids are stunned into silence Later,
Katie
