Day Off

Interesting first full day of not smoking. Took today and tomorrow off work as I figured the change of routine would probably be a good idea. Spent most of it updating my web site, which I've been meaning to do for ages. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than it used to be in terms of being easy to maintain and looking consistent. And having something to concentrate on helped a lot.

Took Abby to nursery first thing, which was tough as the journey is full of smoking trigger points. And brought her back at the end of the day, which was also difficult, for the same reason. But I have made the 24hr mark, and feeling quite pleased about that. I even tested myself with a couple of beers at lunchtime. And I smoked so much that, frankly, everything is a trigger point anyway.

Even getting used to the NRT nasal sprays now - they're not pleasant, but they do provide an instant nicotine hit, so will help a lot whilst I get rid of the habitual stuff.
