Day 1
Well today is day 1. Stopped last night after my blood pressure read really high.Went straight up and bought patches. Guess it scared the crap out of me. So 8 hrs into it today so far, knew this morning was going to be hard..... ( normally smoke about 15 before 9am...preparing for work)......it certainly didnt disappoint. I paced, and I paced a little more, telling myself I am a non smoker now, and looking at my gorgeous daughter knowing that I have to do this. I want to make her and her brothers proud. So I am congratulating my self for every few hours I get through, and I havent as yet put a patch on, kind of comforting to know that they are there if I need them tho. I seem to be cruising along at the moment.......smart enough to know it will be the same pacing all over again tomorrow tho.
Well done Angie , don't be afraid to use your patches though they really help with the cravings :-)
If you can get through one day you can get through two ( that's what I kept telling myself).
Look forward to hearing more as your journey continues
wish u the best ...... it will be a lill complicated days .... me also quitted now is my 48 day :D
Good job on your quit! Remember that scared feeling it'll help keep those cravings at bay. It does get easier. Embrace the new you, find joy in all the new and out with the old. Want and Need are very different, do whatever you need to not to smoke. I remember napping a lot in the beginning too. Not necessarily going to bed early but little naps 20 to 30 min. just a little reboot to get my mind right.
I am riding the cravings and observing my habits. The cravings aren't so bad. It's the habits that get me. I am delaying everything. I try to wait 15 minutes between lollies and food and chewies. Anything, I am trying to delay. This is helping my nerves.
