Sandy S’s Quit!
Hi All,
I smoked my last cigarette on Friday at 5:30 p.m. So I’ll have
gotten through the first 72 hours at 5:30 tonight. (Not sure why 72
hours is so important of a goal to me.) My husband had to work
Saturday so I was pretty much on my own. Tried to keep myself busy
but found myself wandering around the house like I was lost. Sunday
was a little better but I had my moments. So many feelings to
contend with. But I kept telling Warren that we’d get through this
and not to give up. Quitting is not easy, but it is possible.
Everything I learned in this site has given me the strength and
knowledge that I CAN AND WILL BE A NON-SMOKER.
As I posted last week, my husband quit too. That’s an experience.
It’ll either make us or break us (just kidding). He did smoke a
couple cigarettes yesterday, but not me. NOT A PUFF! (Donna, you
wouldn’t believe how many times I said that!)
Today is my first day not smoking at work. I have a feeling that
I’ll be doing some walking around the building, stretching, and
drinking lots of fluid. Feel rather shaky this morning. But we’ll
(Warren and I) will do some breathing, relaxing tense muscles, etc.
Thanks for all of your help …
Sandy S.
