I have almost gotten through the 4th day, and remain smoke-free!
This afternoon was the first time I was really really tempted. Just a little frustration at work - and of course that old mind-set - "I will go and have a smoke and suck it up".....
I can see that I am going to have to learn to deal with these moments - perhaps 'sucking it up' has been the wrong thing to do anyway.
Up until now I have been resisting taking the Nicorette lozenges. My thinking was that by taking a nicotene replacement would only prolong the process. However, when I got home I was in crises, and could not let go of the days events. Therefore I put one of the lozenges in my mouth, and a few minutes later I was feeling much better. I can now get through the rest of this day...
I just have to add to this post that the encouragement that I have been getting means everything! Phone calls, emails, facebook messages, and even a hug or two have given me strength. I am truly loved.
