From the conception of the plan, my quit date has been August 19th....not sure if I relayed that or not....sorry
This morning I did something different. I had a smoke between 6 and 6:30 am, drove to work and went directly in the building without lighting up.
This felt sooo daring, could have easily panicked.....because I never know what kind of day I'm going to have there....will I get a break to smoke, if so, what time will that be? These were my immediate thoughts....
...but I countered those thoughts with these words: "Well, I don't even really want one", "I'm quitting soon anyhow, won't be smoking then, so why have one now", "I'm going to want one whether I smoke or not, so really no sense in smoking one now, it won't stop that feeling".....
I got a break at 12:30.....so I went 6 hours, I had a few urges, but was able to divert them due to being busy.
Now I need to work on the evenings more....too many green lights to smoke during this time. I delay and stay busy, but then I have 2 or 3 in a short period of time.
Glad I've given myself this timeframe to work it out.....without the plan, for me, I would have failed by now....
The plan is giving me the chance I need to unlearn a few things first.
