Week 3

So, just thought I'd check in, and let all of you overly-interested readers know that I've been smoke free for 3 weeks! Still a bit sleepy, and the appetite is nuts, but I'm sticking with the program. :)

Day 14

So, two weeks smoke-free!!! Cravings have gotten worse, but I've had no issues beating them down. This is pretty typical, as the initial will-power slump occurs because the newness has worn off. However, I am aware of this, and am not concerned.

Day 12

This weekend was a bit dodgy, but I maintained. I was in a bit of a mood, and that fueled my feelings of withrawal. However, I've learned to deal with that scenario in the past. All good. I am really looking forward to my two week anniversary. It will be nice to put two weeks in the books, as it seems significant to me.

So I had my first little blow-up at work today related to not smoking. My fuse is short when it comes to having to defend my position and work. Not too bad considering that it's been 9 days without incident thus far. I recovered quickly, and apologized.

Day 8

So almost no cravings today. I feel really good, actually!

Temptation.

Went to what would be considered my "local" last night, but didn't smoke, of course. However, it was harder than I thought it would be to maintain. The cravings aren't terrible, they're really just annoying at this point. My brother, a former smoker, said basically that after a few days of quitting, that level of addiction will stick with you the rest of your life. Scary.

Anyway, I'm still smoke-free, and I'm just about into day five! I'm proud of what I've done thus far. I hate to say it, but I'm ready to have the structure of the week back, as it seems to help me control my cravings somewhat better.

Hour 46ish?

So, I have gotten over the worst of the cravings, it seems. The fatigue has not been an issue today, thus far. I am sleepy, however...just not like yesterday. The fuzzy-head is better, but most certainly not gone. This really appears to be the other side of the initial hump, anyway. I went out last night, and tested a few of my triggers. Either they're not triggers, or my will-power is way high. I've been leaning on gum quite a bit. I noticed that I want to smoke right when I get back to my apartment. It must have something to do with me never smoking in my new car. That's it for now.
