Well, here I am...2 weeks and 3 days without a cigarette. I've now passed the 500+ cigarettes that I haven't smoked and almost $175 I have not spent on cigarettes. I have to admit, it is a great feeling of accomplishment so far and I am glad to be doing it.
This week is different though, as I'm feeling more of the physical effects than I have been. Or, maybe it's this constantly changing weather we are having...who knows. My breathing is a little heavier than it was last week. I am sleeping mostly through the night, but am having very vivid, strange dreams thanks to the patches I wear. I actually find the dreams fun because most of them are just a tad on the bizarre side. I really need to write them down. Anyway, I dream almost all night long and I tend to wake up after each dream, so needless to say I am not sleeping straight through but waking up 5 or 6 times each night. Oh well, that's how it goes. It won't last forever.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with things so far. I appreciate all of the encouragement that I have received from people...that's pretty amazing. Tomorrow is going to be the really big test because we are expecting snow over night that will last until around noon. I am pretty anxious about being out in the snow in my car and have not experience a winter storm without smoking in a few decades. So, how I handle this tomorrow is of great importance to me. I cannot/will not call in to work unless there is an extreme emergency. I can do this.
It'll be an interesting 24 hours, that is all.
