Share your quitting journey
I'm 1 week quit today. The first week wasn't so bad but i think that's because I was off work recovering from wisdom tooth surgery. I didn't have any cigarettes and knew I couldn't smoke anyway if I wanted to avoid dry socket or other complications. My mouth hurt so bad I didn't want to risk it. Not doing much, boredom, was the hardest part of the week... but at the same time not going anywhere or doing much made it easier. I smoke more when I drive or when I have a lot going on. I'm back at work this week and between members (I work at a credit union) and one particular coworker, I get very agitated. I usually spend my lunch in my car smoking and today I was worried I wouldn't be able to stop myself from driving to a very nearby gas station and buying a pack. I was able to stay on work property and not do that over lunch so that's a huge deal!! But I'm getting anxious about the drive home this evening, and getting back into my regular routine. Talking to my boyfriend, taking care of my dog, having dinner and cleaning up after, and how I usually smoke between each of those activities.
It's not so much cravings I struggle with as it is the routine of it all. How my body is so used to these moments and movements and I'll find myself walking to go smoke a cigarette and realize midstride that i don't have anymore cigarettes... It's a strange feeling.
