Justin enters no mans land 32-38

Day 32.  (180.2) Today I enter the period many refer to as no mans land.  I've seen varying dates but generally its referred to as the first few months after month 1.  I think of it as the period where the initial excitement of quitting (meme celebrations every couple days, telling your friends, etc) wears down and you just face your life w/o cigarettes.  There will still be plenty of triggers/reminders as you continue relearning to do normal activities w/o cigarettes.

My plan for getting through this month is:
1)  Continue having wife hide the keys during the week.  I'm going to keep them Fri evening - Sun evening.  Towards the latter part of this month, I will start adding days that I keep them during the week.  This is my version of NRT and seems to be working.  Plus I'm saving a lot on gas since I ride my bike more.
2)  Continue posting a lot.  It's my therapy.
