Day 46 of no smoking and I was feeling pretty smug. I'm still on the 7mg patch, but most of the urges had subsided until yesterday. My spouse was having a rough day and being very confrontational, and I found out my stubborn and perpetually mad brother refused shipment of a birthday gift I sent him, and returned it to the shipper. I tried to keep a positive attitude and went for a nice long bicycle ride, but still broke down and had a cig when I got home, and another a little later. It didn't make me feel any better, and didn't solve any of my problems...I guess I just fell into my old way of dealing with stress.
Today is a new day! I'm feeling better, and believe I can still do this. I made it a month and a half so far, so I'm not going to beat myself up over a little slip. It was just one bad day.....
