Yesterday was another good day with barely a thought about smoking or wanting to smoke. Had to postpone my appointment at the smoking clinic due to me really not wanting to go out on the first day of snow lol. I didn't mind, the clinic's not a crutch for me at all, in fact, it's not bothering me in the slightest that I'm not going for another 2 weeks. In fact, by that time, I'll almost be at a month of being smoke free.
More later on how today went.....

Smoke Free Day 11
Well, the most prominent thing that's happened or rather not happened, has been thoughts of smoking. Today has been the first day without any cravings. No chewing gum or polos needed! I'm erring on the side of caution though as I had rather a late start to the day, so that might have had something to do with it.
I chatted to a long-term online friend of mine tonight and she has also started on the road to giving up, which is great news, I hope I can help her with the abundance of knowledge I have already gained from so few days of being smoke free. In fact, I think I've offered to be a kind of mentor, which is cool, anything I can do to help 'n all that. I told her that Tracey has been so wonderfully supportive towards me and my giving up that I'd like to pass it on. I always have quoted the film "Pay it Forward" as one of my favourites.....
So, what I've taken from today is that I can now think about smoking but not actually want one. However I'm not getting ahead of myself as I feel that I would still enjoy a cigarette.

Smoke Free Day 10
Been a funny ol' day really, cravings seem to be on the increase and after having a read-around on the good old interweb, I discover that it's possibly due to stress. The last couple of days have been a bit mentally stressful, so it would seem to fit. Some talking has been done tonight so hopefully the stress will decrease and as a result, the cravings. Watch this space.........
Looked at the cigs behind the counter at Tesco for the first time today, saw how much a pack of 10 were and grinned to myself thinking.."nearly £3.......can I remember when 20 were £3? Yes I can."...and that was that, didn't think of buying them.
Oh yes, just remembered a dream I had either last night or the night before........I was in the front room at my brother's with a friend of mine who lit a cigarette and with that I lit up as well and after having one puff, I looked at my hand, realised I'd lit up and said "you see, just cos you've lit a cigarette, I automatically lit one up too". With that, I put it out and broke it in half. I thought to myself....I've ruined it now, all that work for nothing tsk, it's all spoiled now.

Smoke Free Day 9
The only thing to report really was the fact that the cravings seem to be increasing, but I've not relented!

Smoke Free Day 8
Nothing much to report for yesterday to be honest. I still occasionally think about having a cigarette whilst I'm having something to eat, but it soon passes when I realise I've given up. Well, that's it really.

Smoke Free Day 7
Been a peculiar day today, got woken up by christians at half 10 - too early for me lol. Then I stupidly upset my partner and then I had to sort out my car insurance as I was in danger of not being insured.
The thing is, with all that going on, I still didn't have a cigarette. Mind you, I've rarely been one to reach for a cigarette in stressful situations, but I'm still pleased I didn't. I did sleep most of the day away though.
The sugar-free polos help.
