Had a 12 hour day at work today and just got home a few minutes ago. Fought traffic a couple of times today and happily kept my quit. Traffic is a total trigger for me -- I've subsituted something to sip on that I keep in the car. Right now it's Sprite, which I refill with a can that I bring down to the car every morning and sipping on that totally works to quell the crave aroused by those triggers.
Well, I haven't had any great insights today -- too busy working -- but it has been a good day because aside from the car crazies, I really haven't thought about smoking much today. I am not being lulled into a false sense of "hey, this is easy" because I know -- as I've said before -- you never know what each day will bring. That's true in life and it is REALLY true in a quit. Three days ago I was crawling up the walls, and since then I've been positively fine. Tomorrow could be anywhere on that spectrum of possibilities, but whatever it is I know three things -- it will be different the day after that and no matter how bad it seems at the time it will pass and I will NOT under any circumstances smoke. If it was easy to quit this addiction nobody would be smoking any more.
