Day 3

[shanmck121]

Tonight has been the biggest struggle for me. Here in a few minutes, I will be 72 hours without a cigarette. I've been noticing my boredom has made a severe impact on my cravings. I've been trying to be mindful of them as they arise but I'm finding myself trying to make excuses just to smoke again. Cigarettes are in the house, they're right here. I'm scared to smoke again but I'm scared without the cigarettes, too. I've also been struggling with NRT. The patches aren't sticking, the gum isn't the greatest.

I know I am meant to be a non-smoker. I'm meant to do this for myself, my health, my life. Quitting is a literal one day at a time, but also one minute at a time. This will happen. I quit.
