So today is 60 days smoke free....and so far im 3 days without the patches. Not even using the inhalator anymore either, so Im making progress which is brilliant.
So Im defo leaving room 2 today (or tomorrow if you count calendar months) and am heading over to Month 3! Have to say....that sounds really quite amazing and maddening too :eek: I really do feel like Ive achieved so much, and that I have so much more to achieve.....but then Im really sensitive at the moment too so im probably being daft!!
Find it nuts Ive managed to keep going this far, ive not managed this length of time before so this is a major leap for me. Im feeling really, really emotional at the mo, but im not sure if thats a combination of me not feeling well at the moment, and I do have things going on in my life....my nose is really congested with no signs of easing, but thats the damage from smoking and my sinuses will take time to heal.
Im ready to take on month 3 though, just plodding along as you do....I have odd moments where I think of ciggies, but to be fair, not often and nothing major. Ive not had anything major since ditching the patches (well so far) either, so im lucky....I think my brain has accepted and not argued back at me! Again though, I think the fact that I had a chest infection to start with and now have one again is helping cos my head is like NOOOOOOOOOO!!! lol
Im still enjoying my quit, my wonderful journey. Still enjoying doing normal daily things without the ciggies and doing things like holidays or hiking for the first time without ciggies. Im hoping for much more!!
On a funnier note...the OH last night made me laugh.....he wanted a ciggie so he rolled away, and then patted his pockets, then his coat pockets, then pretty much every pocket he could find and searched pockets already checked whilst repeating "oh no..where is it...oh no!"....yup he couldnt find his lighter.....so he then asks "Mel, have you got a lighter anywhere!?"...which actually made me laugh even more!! "No" I replied....."I chucked them all out as I dont smoke!"......he had to use the matches kept for the cooker! lol
But it made me remember all the times I had misplaced the lighter and half emptied my handbag in the middle of the street whilst walking (Im brill at multi-tasking!) to try and find it! Boy...I DO NOT miss that at all
Anyway, Im off to say hello to Month 3....so all of you in month 2 who have kept me company, keep it up....I will be watching you! Plus I need you to keep me company in month 3 as I get shy around meeting new people :o.
