14 days

Today is officially 14 days since my last cigarette!

I am so very proud of myself. The first few days were the hardest. I was crabby when it came time to take my Chantix medication. And now on my 2nd week...I sometimes forget to take it! In the last 2 weeks, I have learned to control my urges by deep breathes and simply just trying to ignore it. Which has really helped. Now the only time I have an urge to smoke is when I'm stressed out or irritated. This whole house thing has really tested me. There were a few days where I really wanted a smoke...but I just told myself no. And it's worked.

I've also noticed I am breathing much better. I don't get out of breathe while exercising anymore. And my sense of smell has gotten incredibly better. I'm smelling things I never did before. For example..I keep my perfume in my hallway closet. And I was walking by it and I thought the bottle cracked or spilled- the perfume smell was so strong! My hubs told me it's always been like that....but I had never noticed it before. They also say food is suppose to taste better- but I haven't noticed that yet. Just breathing better is enough for me!

I can't wait till I get to another 2 weeks!
