Well, I did it. I've been officially smoke free for about 24 hours now.
But I think I may have to kill someone.
Let's see, I've been a smoker for about 20 years - except for two 9 month periods where I was pregnant. I can't believe I quit twice then started again. AAAGGHHHHHHHH!!!!
I made a huge dinner last night to compensate for the lack of nicotine - the kids and the DH were both thrilled! And when I went for a walk yesterday I couldn't even do a mile ... my legs hurt sooooo bad!!!
I went to bed last night at 6:30pm because I couldn't take the nicotine withdrawls anymore ... I figured if I was sleeping, I wouldn't want to smoke. I musta woke up every hour dying for a cigarette!
So, I've got my trusty water bottle by my side, chewing gum and Altoids ... I hope I can make it through the next week. Experience has shown me (I'm an experienced quitter!
) that if I can make it through 5-7 days without a cigarette I've almost won the battle.
AAAGGHHHHHH!!!! Give me strength!
