It's Been One Week Since.....

[discoqueen]

As I sit here humming the tune to that Barenaked Ladies song, I realize, I haven't had an analog since last Wednesday night (1/6/10) before bed. And I only had the equivalent of 1.5 smokes that day, in like .25 increments because any more than that had me feeling like I was going to hurl.

Thursday January 7th, 2010 was my first completely smoke free day in 17 years where I didn't want to kill anyone, gorge myself on junk food to satisfy the oral fixation, or scratch my own eyes out to take my mind of wanting an analog.

I just didn't want it. I just didn't need it.

There have been a couple of instances where I had to tell myself out loud "I'm not a smoker anymore" to convince myself that I did NOT need to go smoke one of those week old analogs that are sitting on the counter.

I win, analogs. I win.

I will break even in 2 days, and as of this posting, I have avoided well over 300 analogs. Yay me. Yay V4L for your awesome product that helped me get my life back.

Excellent - congrats! I think that tomorrow I'll pull out the pack I keep in my desk drawer and laugh at it. I need to get at least $5.50 worth of laughs before I toss it in the trash ;-)

discoqueen, that's a GREAT testimonial! And yeah, last time I quit 3.5 years ago was with patches; I was so short-tempered one day that I called my mom and asked her to PLEASE take my 2 dogs for a few hours because I was afraid I might hurt them in a fit of detox-induced rage. One was just a year old, and the other about 6 months, and they were both holy terrors (I used to call them Chaos and Mayhem). Mom was happy to help, I got 3 hours of quiet time and calmed down, and went back for my babies, and all was well

I have none of that this time! Got through the initial withdrawal stuff (aches, coughing, etc) and now it's pretty smooth sailing. No short temper, no bizarro patch dreams, no edginess. 2010 is gonna be a good year

Yes to that, 2010 is going to be a good year. Iris, I hadn't thought of it your way but for once, I can say I'm a non smoker. I really am. No desire. I think I've got it!

You're doing so great, discoqueen! Congratulations!

 

[discoqueen]

Thanks for all the kudos, gang! It's a great feeling to know I can beat this.

And having a killer support group sure does help.

I had to laugh Disco..my husband is running for cover or flinching this time around!
It was nearly painless. Now if he would just quit!

I'm 95 days in....wow almost 2000 analogs (OMG) avoided and I found a pack of ciggs way down in the bottom of my briefcase. I threw them out without even thinking of smoking one!!!! WooooHoooo!!!!!

 

[CatMommy]

That's awesome. Great Job!

 

[Pugzley]

Wow, I just thought about the number of cigs and it's right around 4700 avoided! OMG! It's a wonder I lived as long as I have.
