Third day of not smoking

Posted in Hints and tips on 25 Aug 2011

Its my third day of not smoking and I feel ok.

I have been keeping myself busy during the day and I have not gone outside during my work breaks I instead do all the things I didnt have time to do like pay my bills ,ring someone , make a cup of cofee.The patches seem to help I have been having strange dreams and I have not been sleeping well. I am really happy that I have made the decison to not smoke.I have also saved money which is really good.

Keep going Jessica. I have given up after 35 years of smoking and it now makes me feel great that I don't have to go to smoking areas to have a smoke, or to wonder if I am upsetting someone lighting up walking down the street. I used Champix but I don't care what ever it takes get rid of the money grabbers.
