Week one or weak one ?

I've been telling myself for the past couple of months Time to stop smoking Emma Jane my health was no longer something that I could ignore neither was the cough or the chest pains or the bleeding gums or my eyes that didn't focus as quickly as they used to do.

Smoking was one of my favourite pass times accompanied by a nice chilled glass of wine or two...The ciggys would turn into packets and the glasses into bottles. My health was suffering time for a wake up call if I carried on like this then well you know not good news.

I called the quit line and got the information I wrote down the reasons that I wanted to smoke and the reasons why I wanted to quit 2/12 in favour of quitting. I started to get empowered I'm a strong woman and mother why was I letting the cigarettes get the better of me? So My journey began last Thursday 26th March 2015.I visited my GP who was very supportive and gave me a prescription for some patches He suggested that we did a full blood test to make sure that everything was ok. It's been 5 Days now since I had a smoke and Its not getting any easier but the cravings are further apart, I had a quick puff on a smoke on Friday night when I went out for dinner but that was it non since. I find it hardest after a meal when my mouth just fill's up with saliva like a big drooling dog hanging for a bone. So far I'm happy with my progress I guess nearing the end of week one I'm not the weak one after all ! still along way to go but feeling positive I can do this x
