Its 15:50pm in the DFW House and most of the housemates are climbing the walls!!

Yep - I think I can officially admit it - I really really really want a fag!!!

But, I am not going to have one. I am still taking the high ground and am determined to show my weak body that I am in control of this situation. I decide the rules round here and I am not going to be smoking today.

Apparently now that I am 8 hours in, my oxygen levels have returned to that of a normal non-smoker (whatever one of those is!) and the levels of nicotine and carbon monoxide in my blood have reduced by half. I can't say that I am bouncing around like an Olympian but guess these changes are a step in the right direction.

The next challenge of the day is imminent - driving home for an hour passing all of those shops and garages containing row upon row of lovely little cigarettes all beckoning me in as I cruise by. Am confident that as long as I manage to get home without cracking then I can deal with the evening and that will be Day 1 under my belt.

Just a thought for tomorrow - may be a good idea where it is practically possible to leave the wallet at home and carry very little cash about with you - if you can't buy em you can't smoke em.

Keep the faith everyone - we have got this far.

Keep it up dude!! Just remember how much those little packets cost your wallet and your body. You can do it. The 3 day hump is 1 day down.

I beasted myself at the gym today as punishment. It reminds you why you shouldn't smoke. My lungs still feel like they're on fire!

Mine seems to have kicked in this morning, and now the entire office know I've given up smoking, there's a lot more that can be done!

That's why I tend not to do things like reading quitting threads, just makes me think about it more :eek:;)
