I made it to week 2

Posted in Quit experiences
schedule 17 Jun 2013

Week 2 started off as bad as week 1. I still had moments of strength and moments of weakness. I still had varying moods and was quite emotional. Hubby kept telling me how proud he was of me, he is my greatest supporter.

By Day 11 it felt like the smoking fever finally broke. I no longer thought about having a smoke very often, hours would go by and I would remember. Once I remembered the emotional craving and feeling of loss (felt like I lost an old friend) would try to take over. But by this stage my mind had more control of my body than the habit did.

It is now Day 14 and I feel like I am now a non-smoker and I don't ever want to go back. This feels like the greatest achievement I have ever done and I do not want to let myself down by going back. Hubby and I are closer than we ever were for going through the experience together and all of my family are very proud of me. Noone ever thought I could do it, least of all me. But if I can do it - after 30 years of heavy smoking and numerous attempts (all previous attempts failed on day3)..anyone can do it.

You can do it too! Yes you!

Thats so good for you,Its the best feeling to finally have control over this crazy quit journey.It can be such a rollercoaster in the first few weeks but like you now know it does get a little easier as the days go by..You've done great, you should be very proud of yourself and you have every reason to be..

Onwards and Upwards from here..

Good luck xx
