Made it this far, and yesterday I had a stressful day. I had an xmas party to attend with my GF and some xmas shopping. The party was her circle of people that I don't know, so it made me feel a bit uncomfortable to begin with.
Now, to start the day, I was sick. I woke up with a migraine and muscle stiffness in my neck, shoulders and most of my back. I got up, had some breakfast and started to crave a smoke.
I just about lost it at that point. I couldn't believe I've come this far and still crave it. It wasn't as much a craving as a want though. I know it's just my brain playing tricks on me, but I felt like going out on my patio and smoking.
Anyway, this "craving" lasted almost ALL day. It was all I could seem to think about. Get out of the car to go into the store "hey, I could have a smoke"...you know the routine, I don't have to explain that one.
Today was a bit better...the cravings are still hitting me though. I feel almost "nervous". I'm a bit twitchy and can see myself outside smoking.
So let this be a warning that has been put out by many people, and not just me.
"NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN".
It doesn't matter how long you have gone without, one craving *could* put you over the edge.
Oh, and I almost forgot...after dinner the other night for my GF's mothers birthday, I got up after dinner, put my coat on and went outside. I didn't even know why until someone commented "What are you doing? You don't smoke anymore". Talk about a reflex action...sheesh.
