The morning of the first day
I awoke with strong resolve, didn't even phase me that I was not having that first morning cig....until I got fully awake. My body was not craving the nicotine yet, but my mind was racing with "just one" thoughts. My husband told me welcome to the new beginning of my life. I have thrown out the cigs, lighters, ashtray and worked out for 45 minutes instead of 20. My mind is still racing back to "oh you finished that, have a smoke". It is going to be a busy day sheesh. Shower, smoke thought... folding laundry, smoke thought... but so far my body is not betraying me. I think I will hide out in the art room where time flies and thoughts are usually only on the tone.
Your doing it, you are really doing it, everytime you don't light up you are becoming a non smoker! stay strong, and dont forget to breath, i found a few deep breaths helped me.
CONGRATS
Stay positive - every time you have the smoke thought try smiling and saying "yippee I'm a non-smoker". Say it, feel it and it will be!
