Still Smoke Free
Another two days without a smoke.
I think I'm over the worst of the withdrawals, but I'm still getting the occasional pang for a ciggy, normally as a result of doing something I used to associate with having a cheeky smoke. Other than that, it seems to have been easier than I thought.
Last time I attempted to give up was probably about 5 years ago or more, and part of the problem then was I got rid of all the cigarettes in the house (like you're supposed to). But, telling myself I couldn't have a ciggy because I didn't have one was thwarted the first time someone offered me one in the pub. So, this time I have thousands of ciggies in the house - I'm just choosing not to smoke them.
I went to the NHS clinic thing on Friday, and it was encouraging. I got a prescription for the patches, but having slapped one on on Friday, it made me feel really ill, so I've gone without those. The next appointment at the clinic is Tuesday.
mcuth - you're smoking for two now; but you should be the next to give up, matey!

Well, if you want a source to get rid of those "thousands of ciggies in the house", give me a shout :D
"Smoking for two" - makes me sound like I'm pregnant! Might *look* it, but I'm not ;)
Congrats on continued freedom - hope you're not gonna be one of the worst ex-smokers and provide free lectures at every opportunity ;)
