Annnnnnd Day 2 almost at an end

I'm not gonna lie, today's been harder than yesterday.  The "rush" of giving up has faded a bit, and the urges have been a tad stronger - that said, we're both still smokefree and resolute we're non-smokers for life.  But yes.  I've been keeping myself extra busy today - lawn mowing, heaps of housework and play with the girls, even preparing Gourmet Meals (Andy reckons that aspect of it's FANTASTIC - instead of normal old fried 4 minutes a side steak, tonight's steak was marinated in a garlic mix, wrapped in bacon, seared, then baked in oven, LOL, with two kinds of potato... A Busy Cook is a Non-Smoking Cook...

My eldest sister was here earlier (she's a smoker too, but she left her smokes in her car, so as to keep me from tackling her, etc, not that I would, but she was concerned for her safety), and I was explaining to her the difference in mindset using Champix over cold turkey.  In past attempts, I've viewed it as each minute/hour/day as "Time Since I Smoked".  But in the back of my mind was this secret voice that whispered "Because once you've given up for a sufficiently respectable time frame, you can smoke socially at the very least"... And I'd literally hang out for that - be it a week, two weeks, one amazing time SIX weeks - before we decided we'd become Social Smokers Only.  Unfortunately, we then became Alcoholic Smokers - as we'd drink most nights, in order to pander to our Social Smoking Habit.  So we cut the booze, and went fulltime on the smokes again - for health reasons, obviously.

This time, I know it's it.  It's just when that little voice says "When can we smoke again?", I feel a touch sick, and it passes within a couple of (GRUMPYFUCKFUCKFUCK) minutes, rather than a whole-day obsession.  All in all, things are going well.  No smokes - no murders - no divorce lawyers phoned - and I look forward to tomorrow being a non-smoking day as well.

Am happy,  95% happy.
