Day 7

Well I cannot believe it is day 7. I woke up without having a dream about cigarettes for the first time in a week-that in itself was actually somewhat of a relief. Things "seem" better today-I am still highly emotional and cry at a moments notice, but i do feel in more "control" then I have in a week. I feel like I am not dwelling on the cigarettes that I am NOT smoking. I feel my brain beginning to formulate a plan. I have been using cigarettes as a coping mechanism my entire adult life. Prior to becoming a smoker at age 17, I lived with smokers-so really I have never been in a total smoke free environment until now. I am beginning to get excited about the possibilities of new, healthier coping mechanisms. I remain confident in my abilities yet I cannot and will not underestimate the power of the "enemy".
