Fag leaves fag

You probably wouldn't even believe me, but I'm gonna post it anyway, since it's true: I quit smoking yesterday evening. At about 11 I had my last cigarette and that's it. This morning I woke up and I was still very happy with the decision, although after lunch things started to get a bit more difficult. Of course, after smoking for such a long time, it takes my body a bit of getting used to not getting any new nicotine. I wanted to go cold turkey cause I just don't buy into all those nicotine patches and other artificial ways of quiting.

Anyway, it's been almost 24 hours now since my last cigarette. As I said, this afternoon was a bit tricky, but I'm doing just fine now as I'm writing this, and I'm actually quite proud of myself. Of course I know it's only a day, but you know what they say: the first couple of days are the most difficult, so if I manage to get through this, I might as well get through it all, won't I?

Also, I'm planning not to substitute smoking with food. I've gone through great lenghts these past couple of months to lose a couple of pounds and not get them back, so I'd be damned if quiting one vice would endorse another one. So, I had a sandwich at work and didn't go to the supermarket on my way home, so there's no food in the house to indulge on.

As you can see, I'm doing pretty well, but as hard times will probably come in the next couple of days, I could really use some support!
