Kicking the Nicotine Habit

Day 2. 

Yesterday was the start of my smoke free life. Admitidly I am using a Nicotine patch as a replacement for the time being, but I see that as being fairly short term. I last smoked sunday evening and am now 1.5 days in. I'm surprised how few the times have been where I even thought about a cigarete, not wanted ne, but just thought, like after a meal, or with a beer. I'm feeling really confident, but cautios as well. Overconfidence is not a great thing. I have a call with a nurce from my mediacl insurance company later, a coach so to speak. Not quite sure what advice she can give that I dont already know, but theres no harm in a phone call.

I do already feel better, and I know that over the next few days that feeling will happen more and more. I've had loads of support from friends on facebok, lots of encouragement, and that helps.

Better get back to work now, i'll post on and off through this process to let you know how i'm doing.
