Cognitive Quit Smoking

It was six months for me on the 28th of June. I hadn’t been thinking about
smoking for a while. Other people’s smoke didn’t bother me. I didn’t even
think about the six months until I had my mouse over the time and the date
popped up. Wow! I am impressed. I did gain weight, but I had already started
to lose it. I even went to a concert and had a drink and the smoke didn’t
affect me other than I liked the smell when it mixed with the outdoor concert
smells: Strawberry daqueries, perfume, the river, pot, and incense. It was a
nice summer night and I had fun. I didn’t feen over grits. I just had fun
listening to the music and watching people.
So it’s not even a week later and I am starting to crave when I smell them and
when I get really aggravated. It has to be a really big aggravation, like whenI
found that my central air box that hooks up outside was stolen right off the
back of my house! I didn’t smoke, though. I let my friend put his arm around
me and I just cried. I can see a shortened abc in that scenario. However,
friends aren’t always going to be around when you need a hand/shoulder.

I have left the concert alone. I didn’t smoke and that is good. I think maybe
it was a memory thing from all of the concerts that I have gone to in the past.
I didn’t really want a cigarette that bad. As a mattter of fact, I found myself
being more outgoing and spontanious than I had in the past. I enjoyed the
people and the music and the cravings left me and bothered the guy two seats
away!
I just wonder why after 6 months? I hope it was just a phase.
OH!!! It was really something when we were halfway to the concert and my frind
asked me for a lighter and I didn’t have one. I hadn’t even thought about
putting one in my purse. I used to carry at least a half dozen…at least!
Changes!
Congrats to all of you who have stayed clean. I could still smell the smoke on
my summer clothes when I unpacked them after a year almost. Just think what our
lungs are not being subjected to! Yeah for all of us in our successes!!!
I really like the smell of summer evenings in my bedroom rather than incense
trying to mask the smoke. As much as I like good ol’ Catholic Church
Frankincense and Myrrh, I love the smell of green more.
Thanks for your support everyone in cq.
have a nice evening!
