Feeling good

Day 26 and I am feeling good. The weather may be rubbish and I may have a cold sore coming but I am really happy with how my quit is going. The tiredness that I felt earlier is much reduced and the cravings have got much easier to manage. One of the biggest thing has been making sure I distract myself at those times during the day at work when I would have otherwise gone out for a cigarette break. Instead I have taken a few minutes to look at a crossword, have a chat to someone, get a drink or come on this site - even that need to distract myself is getting less though. I know that I am by no means through this and there will be challenges and difficult times to come but right now I am just enjoying my achievement
