Trying to do things differently this time This isn’t my first time quitting and I’ve always relapsed after less than a week. im now about to complete 8 days and I’m feeling pretty positive!  Previously I tried to avoid anything I identified as a trigger...coffee because I used to smoke with coffee, my roof terrace because I used to sit there and drink wine and work my way through a pack of Marlboro lights etc etc. That made me frustrated and also gave me a huge caffeine withdrawal headache.

yesterday I wanted a glass of wine. Sat in the terrace and enjoyed The warm weather without it being ruined by wanting a cigarette. Likewise, If I want a coffee I have one.  I do give myself a pep talk first...reminding myself I don’t want to go back to smoking. I don’t think I could hang out with smokers right now but apart for, that, I’m trying to live life as I did before. luckily my husband only really smokes if he’s drinking and there is a city wide beer shortage! Onto day 9!
