I'm realising I smoked to celebrate the good times as well as the bad ones ....in fact, I smoked whatever the event was. It just amazes me more and more how those cigs were tied up in everything I did. Day 2 wasn't too bad, but this brain fog is a total pain. I could hardly string a thought together yesterday til much later on in the evening when I felt a lot better and clearer in my mind. Today started off ok, by this afternoon I found myself getting really irritable/short tempered with anything/one that breathed. I went out for a long walk and just emptied my mind (not difficult at the moment, there's not too much in there). It helped de-stress and relax me physically and I had no smoking urges at all. I got ICQ up and running last night - thanks to Steve for walking me <!--more--> through that - and I think maybe focussing on something other than my quit helped a lot. My sleep patterns are up the wall, and for now I just accept that I'll sleep when my body needs it, and I'm not going to get hung up about it (more stress) thats it for now Anita Hi Marian - day 3 for me too
You’re dead on - good things can just be as stressful as bad ones.
I’m realising I smoked to celebrate the good times as well as the
bad ones ….in fact, I smoked whatever the event was. It just
amazes me more and more how those cigs were tied up in everything I
did.
