1 week complete. Awesome.
How do I feel for it, well, I do actually feel a bit better today anyway, still minor flu symptoms, but not enough to stop me getting up and going out for a really long walk today. I didn’t really check in on time much today, but after I got back from my walk, I was quite surprised to see it was 16:00, I had walked for hours, and felt great for it. I walked into town as part of the walk, and smelt a few people having ciggies, and I didn’t envy them one little bit, which I think is a fantastic sign, I also saw a sign in a pharmacy I looked round in. Stating "If you stop smoking for 1 week, you are 9 times more likely to quit altogether" Again, great news, not that I am doing this based upon statistics, but it’s nice to know.
The rest of the day has actually been nerdsday, My PC at home has been swapped about and messed around with (by myself) for A very long time, so I decided to remove lots of duplicate files I knew were lurking (i.e. duplicate copies of MP3's etc.) I left this running whilst I was out walking, and I’m still sorting it now! (To bore with a brief stat, I found over 200GB worth of duplicates, oh dear!)
Something strikes me as odd really, I don’t think if I smoked I would have done this, but I also don’t think I did it to not smoke or take my mind off of it.
I did think to myself, I already feel better for not smoking, the walks, the actively doing things, my mind frame, all seems slightly better.. not that there was anything wrong with it before, but it seems almost like it’s had some fine tuning, and, dare I say it, I have had times of being happy today. I felt more my age, less depressed (I do occasionally dwell and self pity) and just felt slightly higher than normal today. This could well be due to recovering from the illness, so I’m not going to say it’s all from not smoking, but it is great.
So, let’s hope I don’t jinx it like last week, but just tomorrow to go then it’s back to work. I’m sure now I’ll cope perfectly, but that remains to be seen.
Thanks for reading again, if you are. You are what makes this all worthwhile.
Andy
congratulations for your first free-smoking week, u never thought you'll make this far but u did
ReplyDeleteno comments today i hope we didn't get left out and everybody is out there smoking...lol
today was kinda special for me cause i didn't think about smoking at all...all day long. just to let you know I'm in college and my major is chemistry, so i buried myself in my studies all day and puted smoking way behind me. in the past, I've waisted a lot of time while smoking and i couldn't focus while studying but now i can, these last couple days I've noticed the remarkable changes.
again Andy, thank you so much, even one of my friends (a girl) she said thanks for your help and she's wishing you a good luck...
looking up to day 9...
I'll wait for yr post
have a nice day :)
