Bastique

I don’t know where I got so off track, but my last cigarette was 27 August 2005, which makes 22 September day 26.

What will make it easier to stay quit once it’s official is letting go of the reasons that I smoked and talking honestly about when I want to smoke. Today the desire to light up came with heightened stress at work. I’m grateful that my desire to stay smoke-free was stronger.

What I miss about smoking is being able to use a cigarette to get away and regroup. Now I need to find a new way of doing that.

Possibilities? Just going outside and taking a walk around my building is one idea. I know there’s some yoga things that might help too. Of course I still need to learn yoga.

Anyway, quitting smoking can be done, even by a die-hard like me! I’m going to do it!
