Nic blogging: Two weeks plus
Yep, I’ve broken a personal barrier, the two week barrier. The first couple weeks are interesting for me, sometimes I’ve been able to quit for a couple weeks no problem, others big problem. This was a big problem two weeks for me. Lots of stress. Lots. Jim tells me that once I hit a month I’ll be in the home stretch.
Well I hope I can make it. My biggest problem is keeping up the “I want to be smoke free” feeling. Believe me it’s rough. The “just one is okay” thoughts hit me all the time. Thursday I picked up my kids to bring here for Easter weekend. Well being in transit from 3 until 8 (yes, five hours, really) puts a strain on even the best parents. Now you throw in a parent who is trying to quit smoking and trying to do it without the patch (they make my arms hurt), well let’s just say it wasn’t a laugh riot when we learn the ferry would be 20+ mins late!
Watching other people smoke, other parents smoke. It almost drove me over the edge. Almost, but not quite.
Okay … back to distracting myself. Maybe a few more mini carrots.
