Day 5

Another good start to the day with my longest run yet! Feeling really good. I had a couple of moments after my run where force of habit made me think of cigarettes again. Just fleetingly and worry a strange sense of loss and nostalgia?! I reminded myself that I'm nearly over the worst of it and that my body is responding so well to quitting. I also know from past experiences that falling back into smoking at this stage makes me fall in love with it even more and makes quitting harder. Instead I had my protein shake and popped in some nicotine gum. That redirected my focus. I'm definitely going to succeed this time, I feel that at my age I have a lot more to lose.
