Wow. The days really are flying by. It is hard to believe that I have not ingested nicotine for 17 whole days. Before all this the whole prospect of quitting smoking frightened me completely. It has been hard for me to visualize having a good number of days under my feet. I have been so busy living day to day and sometimes by the hour and of course three minute intervals that the fact that I have gone so long is very exciting.
Quitting smoking is a full time job. We must always stay on top of our addictive minds, constantly reassuring ourselves, moving through cravings and getting through the day. When I lay my head down at night and my chest doesn't burn, my hair still smells good and my fingers do not smell of smoke I feel the fruit of my labors.
I am still dealing with sinus problems and a sore throat. I also have two canker sores that make it hurt to eat or talk. Lastly, I am dealing with a terrible case of heartburn which I never have had before. I am not coughing up phlegm or mucus very much. It feels as if my body is rebelling against me. Grrr.
