Yesterday was ok. The cravings seemed to happen more often and I noticed when I automatically went to get a cig out of habit. I'm sitting inside at the moment cause my morning smoke craving is happening now. My wife smokes so I don't want to sit with her. Yesterday I did 2 things I was worried about not smoking. I drove for 45 minutes there and back, no cigs. And I sat next to my wife as she smoked and had a long important chat. So proud of myself. Today is another day of not smoking! We are stronger than this addiction. I've been addicted to other substances and stopping using them. I feel like cigs are harder to quit than other substances because nicotine is legal. It's available at many shops. It's a constant and regular form of ingestion. There are multiple reasons. That's why I'm feeling proud of myself. This isn't easy but I am surprised that it's easier than I expected.
