24days quit....

[PorkandPancakes]

24days. It doesn't sound much does it? But something's happening. I forgot to remember to forget about smoking. In other words, when I woke up today, I was normal. My first thought wasn't "I need to remember something, oh yeah, I quit smoking".

My first thought this morning....well actually it was obviously insignificant because I don't remember it but my second or maybe even third was "I didn't think about smoking". Then as I'm going through the days, I'm not thinking about smoking. It hasn't gone completely. It still crosses my mind. it just doesn't stick around long. Sometimes, I get stressed out and it sticks slightly longer. The other day, I announced I was getting frustrated so I was going outside for some breaths. And I did. And it was nice. And I didn't want a cigarette.

 

So, nearly four weeks and I don't want to smoke. I have less than 5 thoughts of smoking a day. I'm settling into this non smoking stuff. Tonight I left the room and my boss said 'are you going for a cig?'

I shouted back as I kept walking 'No, cos I don't smoke'. And I smiled. And I think he laughed too.

Isn't it an amazing feeling to do what you never thought was possible?

Woo Hoo!  You are a champ!  It will probably still be a bit of a roller coaster ride, but you've got this!

It took me a lot longer to get to where you are now, but no matter how long it takes, it's great when you realize you're forgetting to remember.

Nice going Pancake!! As Nancy has said the rollercoaster will be still there for a time yet! BUT!!! Remember this moment, how you are feeling now. The fact that life really does just go on! And you really don't need to smoke.

 

24 days is not insignificant, it an amazing achievement and we are all proud of you.

The old 'Ah-ha' moment... Excellent news :good:

 

Honestly this will get more and more common to the point that the ONLY time you think about smoking is when you think 'huh, I just got through something without thinking about smoking' lol

 

Congratulations on 24 days, that's a pretty long time in my book :)
