Ok... So i'm 2 weeks smoke free, for the most part the cravings are gone. What's weird is the whole "having to re learn everything" is so insanely true. Yesterday I decided to start reading a book. Haven't finished one since before I quit. Well I start reading and then my hand starts reaching for a pack of cigarttes that arn't there. I laughed the first time and went on but it kept happening. I finally had to stop reading and go take a nap. But I was determined because I love to read and I wasn't going to let this destroy that for me. So after I got up I went right back to reading. and it did quit finally, It was nice to finally be able to enjoy the book then. haha
but other then that everything has been fine. I'm thinking about smoking less and less and usually now when I do think about it, its in a "wow I actually quit, isn't this amazing?!" sort of way, not the old "I want to cry, I need a cigarette" kind of way. Both my dad and husband are 1 week smoke free themselves now too. 🙂 Only smoker left is my mom but I don't push it. You have to be ready for it, and she isn't. I don't ever want to be the sterotypical "ex smoker" I hate those people. Always on your heals to tell you how they quit and how great they are and how gross you are for smoking. That's not effective. It never got me to quit, that's for sure.
Everything is going well with the moving plans. My husband is renting our place next week. I've already started packing. I realized today I have to wash a lot of stuff. Clothes in the back of my closet smell like smoke, so does some boxes. Need to clean all that. Don't want to take it into the new place like that. Other than those things in my closet, I haven't smelled smoke like other ppl talk about. A lot of ppl told me I'd smell it and think it was disgusting. Others said I'd smell and want it. neither has happened. I just don't smell it. The clothes and boxes smell like it but they neither smell bad or good.
I'm still coughing a lot, and having trouble sleeping, but the heart burn and other symptoms have gone away. Thankfully.
