It's a lollipop day in Glindaland

Today has been another good day. I have been sleeping really well. I went jogging this morning and I was so happy that I could run up hill without gasping for air. I have had some cravings for cigarettes today but not too bad. I keep nicotine gum and patches handy only for the last resort. When I get a craving I remind myself that the average craving usually only lasts about three minutes. They start out low, peak and then go down again. I breath deep and ride the wave so to speak. Sometimes I get horrible anxiety. I have read that anxiety is common for people who are going through smoking cessation. When the anxiety gets too bad I put a patch on for a couple hours and that really helps. I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Lollipops for everyone!

And, lollipops do help me! Hope you are feeling better and having a wonderful day...Keep up the good work. Take care, Em
