Quitting smoking is like riding a roller coaster, but blindfolded and without a seat belt. You never know whats going to happen next. It throws you from left to right and all you can do is trying to hang on and you try not to lose the grip! Let’s face it….quitting smoking is harder than I thought it would be!
I looked at my chalkboard, and it made me smile; it showed a big 5! Wow, almost a whole week smoke-free! Most of the time I am fine, but yesterday I had a craving, and it was different. It hit me like a freight train and came from out of nowhere. It lasted a little bit longer as well -maybe 20 minutes, but still…..it didn’t kill me. I had more and more questions on my mind. I wanted to talk to other people like me; I wanted to find smokers like me who just quit …but where?
I have this kitchen decoration on top of our fridge; it’s an Italian chef holding a small chalkboard. It’s too small, and I can’t really use it for anything. I wrote a big 3 on it! I haven’t smoked in 3 days…and I can honestly say I felt confused! What was happening?
