So, that's one week done. I've stayed in. I've saved at least £40 on cigarettes and who knows what on not drinking!
I am very proud of myself. And, you know what? It was easier than I thought. It was harder being on the 'other side', saying 'I'm going to quite soon…'. But once you actually get your motivation and will power going - it becomes - not plain sailing, but an interesting cruise…
People are starting to ask me: Do you feel better? I don't really. Not physically. I can feel that my body is changing and adapting. Especially as I have stopped drinking coffee, beer and anything I associate with cigarettes. My appetite is better. I've put on a little weight, and have cut down on all those nuts I was eating last week. Now I'm still eating nuts, but also munching carrots, celery and apples. I seem to need crunchy things!
The best bit of how I feel is in my head. It seems… quieter. No more nagging from Mr Nicotine. I seem to be able to think a little more clearly. I feel more confident. Smoking was the one habit/addiction I was scared of not being able to kick. That somehow, I am not completely in charge of my own body. I know I am now.
