Day 4 – Becoming an Ex

Well, I’m on Day 4 of becoming an ex. Today was my first day of separation, which was a little bit difficult, but I survived. Basically, during separation, you have to put some distance between your trigger and your nicotine habit. For me, my main trigger is driving, so I decided that for the first 10 minutes of any car ride, I would not smoke. I did okay, although I cheated just a little bit and took the long way a couple of times. But, the result was smoking seven less cigarettes today, though I am likely to have two more before bed.

Overall, I believe that this is a good plan thus far and that it is working. I’m excited to continue on this journey.

    Good Work, from the formally Tiffany Thompson:).
    I am an x smoker. I quit 9 years ago, had a 6 month relasp at one point and did it again. I am sooooo happy. Best thing I ever did for myself and family.
    Good luck and thanks for stopping at my blog!
