There's a cigar in my office. It's been kicking about there for almost three years. At one time there were five of them but now only one remains. What a waste it would be to have that cigar sit there in a house full of non smokers. I have a plan for that poor cigar. I like to set myself milestones and get little rewards when I achieve each. Next Thursday I have an appointment with the doc. Next Weekend I'm going to treat myself to that cigar.
In spite of what I've said above, I'm getting pretty used to this no-smoking lark. Now that I have a reward to look forward to it will probably be even easier. It's just the way my twisted brain works. Chances are that by next weekend I wont even want the cigar but, it's not so much having the cigar as, being allowed to have the cigar, that counts. Am I nuts?
No major plans for the weekend so tomorrow I'm just going to kick back and chill. My garden still shows signs of the worst ravages of winter so I may get a brush out and start clearing but, maybe not. We'll see how I feel. I've actually got to a point where I don't need to keep busy every minute to keep my mind off smoking. That in itself is a good sign. I'd almost washed all the paint off the car.
Also, last night I had a dream. I only mention it because, regular readers will already know, I don't ever remember dreams. I don't remember all the detail and what I do remember doesn't exactly make sense however it was a dream and I do remember having it. That's as near to a side effect as I've ever had. Watch this space to see if it becomes a recurrent theme.
Well past bedtime now. I fell asleep in front of the TV earlier. Shows how good the program was. I didn't want to miss a post though so thought I'd get it in before bed.
Night night world. see you in the morning.
There's only so many ways to say 'I didn't smoke today'. This is a blog about Computers, Phones, Cars and credit and , of course, ciggies.
Hi there, Kelly here. It's now been 76 hours since my last cigarette and I'm starting to feel pretty good. I can tell the worst of the physical cravings have been and gone, which is a good feeling, I almost cried on the second night I wanted a smoke so bad. Good to hear you're doing well too. I read your post I think on day 35 saying you were an ex-smoker who really wishes he could smoke. Can I suggest you have a read of Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking? It really makes you feel happy about quitting, instead of feeling as though you're depriving yourself. I actually have a PDF copy of it, let me know if you'd like me to send it to you.
