Hi folks,
Hope you are all doing good this evening.
Just on for an emptying of the head - dangerous I know, feel free to make a dash for it!
Am finding it extremely weird being patch free. Can't quite put my finger on it but think I was used to actively doing something to quit - i.e. putting a patch on in the morning and taking it off at night. Not sure if that will make sense to anyone but now I don't 'do' anything. Feel a teensy bit lost.
Feel a bit deflated. Plus everyone round about me is like "Well done, thats you free of nicotine and now a non smoker" which is lovely but I don't quite feel that way yet. Think I need to keep up the reading and chatting on here cos I've not been doing much of that to be honest. Starting having a few moments where the thought of a cig has appealed so its time to toughen up I think.
Not really complaining cos I do feel much, much better but think I am needing to re-inforce my quit.
So here goes, I have been a non smoker for 13 weeks tonight. I am sleeping better, feeling better, I have more energy, my 3 year old niece loves to kiss me now, I am richer and most importantly I am free of the addiction and the slavery. Plus when I finally get my a$$ back into the dating scene I will appeal to non smokers too Although I guess I won't be looking at any smokers as potential snogs will I........do you reckon that balances it out?
OK, head almost empty so going to have a glass of vino.
Thanks for letting me have a ramble.
