Well, this is my 11th day smoke free, and I am having
a fairly easy time of it. I average 12 Lozenges/day,
so they are really helping with the cravings.
It is starting to get colder here on Long Island,
and with the short time without cigarettes, I notice
one big improvement; Cold Weather Coughing.
What with the colder, drier air, this was usually
the time I found it difficult to smoke and breathe
at the same time. I would smoke a cigarette and
choke for 1/2 hour when done. Even with 11 days smoke
free, I have noticed this improvement.
This alone has been a great incentive for me to
not pick up a cigarette.
NRT, of course, only helps with the physical addiction,
and it does a good job. Thus, I can concentrate on
the psychological side of the addiction. There are
questions I ask myself, that I have written down, to
use when I have a mental desire to smoke. Bad
habits take awhile to overcome, and believe me,
in my 59 years of smoking, I have many.
On November 8, 2009, I will be 72 years old. I
surely do not want to spend my remaining yrs
being miserable from smoking.
