Day 4, I mislabeled my last entry, today is actually day 4 being smoke-free.
Well, I am still craving cigarettes, and I am told that will never go away. I wasn't tempted to the point of smoking, but the urge is still there. What do I expect, though? It's day 4. I just hope the urges get weaker as time goes on.
I was around my first smoker today. The in-laws came over and my father in law smokes like a chimney. Before, I was all too happy to join him, but now I had to keep my distance. We went to a store, all together in the same car. And I could tell he made an effort not to smoke on the way there. I didn't say anything, because he is one of these guys that would deny not smoking for someone else, and then light up. So, I counted my blessings and kept quiet.
All in all, a pretty non-eventful day. But, I am bored out of my mind! I'm in between classes at school. Glad they'll be starting up agian soon. In the past I have used crocheting as a way to keep my hands busy when trying to quit smoking. I think I am resisting getting back into it, on an obsession-like level as my sole distractor from smoking, because it did not work before. And I feel that if I "go there", history is doomed to repeat itself in the form of failure to quit. What's the definition of insanity? Doing something the same way and expecting a different result. So, I don't want to do that. I am having a hard time finding stuff to do. This makes me realize how much of my time was wasted smoking. Just smoking. Just puff-puff-puffing away. Really, what a waste. But now, I need stuff to do.
I've been trying the routine of cooking more, which until recently, I did not do at all. And while, that is fun, being in the kitchen all day is getting monotanus, too. Cleaning? I have to do that whether I choose to smoke or not. I need a new hobby, something different. Hey, a job would be nice! Believe me, I have been trying for a long time with no luck.
OMG, that's so funny, I just paused and looked down at the desk for "my cigarettes" (that no longer exist). Haha, it'll take a while to break that habbit, too I guess. It's just so automatic.
