Day 6 - This was my first weekend day home since quitting smoking and I have to say I believe starting the patch on Monday was a great idea, because I had work all week to keep my mind on other things other than smoking. I think this helped to build up to the weekend where my cravings have been less and I just was able to enjoy my weekend without spending it smoking. I have to say that I am starting to enjoy not smoking, I just feel better in the mornings, I have more energy, and it feels a little easier to breath. I know over time of not smoking, my lungs will get clearer and clearer so that I may be able to not run out of breath doing minor things. I would like to add to anyone who may read this, keep your eye on the prize, not smoking is a choice and a health one to me. When you started smoking it was a choice and now to quit it is a choice. I thought I would never be able to stop smoking, this is how addictive smoking is, but with the mind set that I am done smoking and the patch I have been successful in my quest so far.
I urge anyone trying to quit smoking to even take up writing about it in a Blog, this also has really helped me to stay focused, even if nobody else reads it.
