well it’s day eight, and yes i’ve made it thus far. it’s been a full week, yes thank you thank you. most people that were aware of my recent change in life style have been very supportive. including some unexpected ones. i guess it’s easier to continue not to light up when someone says ‘way to go’ or ‘hey glad to hear you’re keeping this up’ to ‘proud of you for not lighting up’. it hasn’t come without its share of cravings. tuesday was particularly a ‘long’ day. home alone, studying, nobody to ‘annoy’ when i needed some distraction. my solution, go out on the balcony for 5 to 10 minutes at a time and just stand there. i guess there’s no reason why i can’t enjoy the fresh air on the balcony now that i don’t light up when i go out there. thus one solution to stop the ‘social’ aspect of the cravings.
another thing, well since you’ve asked, i started talking walks a bit more than usually. which reminds me…it’s about time for my morning stroll around campus. it helps with the cravings and gets my mind to think about other things. yet another ‘solution’ at taking my mind of the cravings has been gum, no not any special type of gum, just regular gum. cravings have been held back, too bad my lower jaw started to states its displeasure quite quickly.
well it’s been a full week, onto day 8 then.
