Day 23

Wow I cannot believe I have not had a single puff in 23 days and my husband is still smoking. He does hide them and doesn't leave them around but still hard with him smoking (he is trying and has cut back a lot). I joined a gym and got a personal trainer. It is very hard to work out as my anxiety creeps in thinking I'm going to have a heart attack (stress test a month ago came back normal). My anxiety has been heightened and I am more stressed and snappy, but I will get there. Need to find ways to manage stress better. I have started meditation and seeing my therapist 2 a month for my anxiety. Honestly, if I can make it to 23 days, anyone can. I loved smoking but my children begging me to quit cause they want their mom at their wedding was enough for me.

My anxiety keeps me in a state of should I should I not, I know it’s wrong to smoke, I know all the health risks so why can’t I just get it through my head that I don’t want to smoke, I’m only 3 days quit today it’s early days I’ve relapsed before and I know it’s boredom but with my anxiety but I don’t to want to go out really, just WHY!!!
