well really it’s now been 29 days, so a couple days short of a month, but it seems like it’s just been a couple weeks, time definitely goes faster now that i dont smoke. no cravings so far, only thing is my sleep is erratic, hoping that improves.
and it’s been 6 days without a coffee,
and on august 1st, i quit drinking, except for 2 margaritas once a year on my bday at the mexican restaurant in town haha.
i know how long it’s been because in my notebook, i made a list to 100, each day i put a check next to the number if i don’t smoke or drink coffee.
also i was planning on taking a break from the forum until winter, but decided to come back after 3 days haha. but i am online less than before at least and getting a chore or two done each day.
its weird, now when i check bank account it’s about the same as last time i checked, i got used to it being 2 or 3 hundred dollars less when i used to check it. saving money not smoking. money for books and groceries. my weight is also more healthy 157 pounds, up from 130 pounds.
I think your method would work for me as well. If I write it down as an objective goal and put a checkmark next to the days until I reach 100 or more. My dad is on day 31 I htink. So you quit the same day he started and he’s doing well. I am going to quit next week cold turkey this time. I also think Im going to order some watercolors and start doing some artwork.
