Quitting Smoking: One Week In
I’ve been smoke free for just about a week now. It hasn’t been any where near as bad as I was thinking it was going to be. I’m a little more irritable and a little twitchier, but all and all it is going pretty well. I’ve really found that the hardest part so far has been at work.
At work it gives me a great exuse to get up and go outside for a while. And I’ve been missing that. Luckily, I don’t have any smoking buddies in my department, so everyone I talk to is already out there and they don’t come in to see if I want to go out.
I’ve been using the patch, which for me, is really the only effective method that I’ve tried. It curbs the cravings enough that I’m not constantly thinking about it. It does manage to give me some really crazy dreams though. I don’t really remember what they are about, all I know is they are weird.
I’m feeling pretty good about this attempt though. I actually really want to quit and while everything hasn’t gone perfectly, it seems to be going pretty well.
