From 20 a day to 20 days without...

[nsd_user663_4990]

Well here i am, the day before the end of my 3rd week in, sat in work with next to zero stressful elements in my day and i'm relaxed What a feeling!

I can take deep uninterrupted breaths that are not wheezy in any way, i can smell much better than i have in many months, and i feel i've more energy than normal even though i am not a morning person in the slightest.

Day 20.. and still not smoked. I've been in 3 or 4 shops already this week where the temptation has been there at the counter, all in nice fancy colourful boxes .. rows and rows of them, and i honestly didn't even feel any need, nor desire for them.

I love staring temptation in the face, it helps me alot :cool:

So onwards and upwards as they say, and heres to the upcoming weekend!!

Well done Jase - brilliant that it's all going so well for you

I'm 10 days behind you in the quit stakes so I guess I'll see you in the month folders (touch wood!)

Hi Jase

Lovely post - I am so pleased that today is another good day for you. 20 days is great - and it's also reassuring to know that you are still facing those challenges head on.

Hope you have a really great Friday!

Definitely, i'm staring the addiction beast hard in the face and letting it know constantly that it may aswell stop trying to lure me back. I am a stubborn git, once i make my mind up it takes alot to sway me, but this addiction to smoking is something i've got used to now, i've seen where i went wrong in the past attempts, and this time, its me.. or it.. and i'm the only winner in this confrontation this time. No second place this time, and i won't let myself down again.

I've been looking at cars today too.. bout time my 95 mondeo was scrapped and a new 'never been smoked in' car is needed to take its place.

Seems to work for me. Can't say its something that would work for everyone, but i find that the harder i am on myself now, the easier it will be when someone is near me smoking. I am already totally ok for example with folk smoking near me. So far i've not wanted, nor thought about them. If folk are happy with em fine.. i'm just not happy with me smoking.

I am very confident right now that if someone offered me one, i'd say 'no thanks' and not consider it further.

Well done fella, you will soon be counting in months instead of weeks
