Quitting Smoking Update

Today marks the 5th day since I have had a cigarette.  I cut back a great deal the week of Christmas then began weening myself off of them.  On 12-30-2017, I had my last one.  I am on the patch which is helping, even though I often have bizarre dreams but that's a small price to pay. 

The longer I go without a cigarette, the easier it is.  It is almost like being in physical therapy.  Since I have smoked for 22 years, I am having to relearn how to do almost everything sans cigarettes.  Things like driving, going to the grocery store without buying any, walking Squirt, being home alone without stepping onto the porch for a smoke.  The more I do these things without smokes, the easier they get so I suppose, in a way, this is like physical therapy.  I have also been sick for the last little while with a cold, so I figured this would be a good time to stop.

According to my online calculator just now, I have not smoked 153 cigarettes or spent $51.54 on cigarettes and have added about half a day to my life.

Baby steps.

That is all
