I have been smoke free since Sunday night before bed.. Coming up of 84 hours. This morning when I got up, a cigarette was still the first thought I had, but I didn't feel panicked when I remembered I quit.
Mainly my problem today is my habits. I am no longer groggy, I have to say the three green smoothies and about 50 oz of water a day helped flush out all the nicotine. Last night was the first night that I have actually slept, which was a major relief.
But today, its my first day off work since I quit. I have been used to planning my days around smoking more or less, for 5 years. I planned out when I would smoke before and after doing tasks, and taking a break in the middle if I needed to. So right now I feel like I am relearning how to do everything.. And I always felt like a cigarette was a "reward" after finishing a task (a reward that's slowly killing me) and I am having a hard time shaking that off. Anyone have any good ways to overcome this?
Sticky Lipgloss
Hi Brittany,
I can completey relate. I'm on my second week. Cigs were my reward center too, after any tiny little task. I'm having to retrain my brain. I also found that sticky lipgloss deters me from touching my mouth, which I was doing alot of at first. That helps me break the hand and mouth connection. I also recommend running around the the kitchen table while your kids laugh at you and the dog thinks you playing with her. lol .... maybe that's just me.
Your doing great... You can do it!!!
