Update: Two Weeks Quit.....

Wow!!! In a few hours, 

I will be two weeks QUIT!

How do I feel? Honestly, at times, I have moments where I feel lost. Especially after I finish doing something or when I get in my car. The feeling is like there is something that I am forgetting to do.
Then, all of a sudden I will say to myself, "You don't smoke anymore, and this is where you would usually smoke a cigg." Then I go, "Oh, that's right." lol.

One of the things that I have definitely noticed is that my smoking is definitely tied to my emotions. I've noticed that when something big happens, and I get excited, or upset, I want to smoke.

I think I've been dealing quite well with my quit. I think it's because I'm not feeling the physical withdrawal, at this point, it's totally mental. The fact that I am aware of what is going on with me at this point, helps me to reject smoking.

What I mean is, I know that I really don't want to smoke, and that it's just the people, places, and situations that are acting as triggers.

I'm not going to sugar coat this. Yes. I still have hard moments, but check this out, I wouldn't even call them moments. The are more like sparks, that come and go really quickly.

I'm still excited about being SmokeFree. I do know that I feel different about myself and about my life in general.  After I get a month or two under my belt, I want to try to slowly incorporate some new things into my life, and remove other things.

I don't know if this makes sense, but I feel spiritually grounded. Yes, I am still doing my odaimoku (NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO). I do believe that this has played a major part in my recovery  from nicotine. I also pray the Lords Prayer and I sit and pray for people in general, especially folks I've seen during the day. I pray for all children and all elderly people. The rest of you all can fend for yourselves--just kidding. lol. I just love children and the elders and I believe they should have respected places in the life cycle.

My prayer for everyone reading My Quit Journal, is that if there is something in your life that you want to change, that each of you have the courage, the will, the peace, the grounding, the patience, the support, or whatever it may be that you need, to make it happen.

Thank you, Lord.  For the last two weeks, and on this day, I have not smoked. I have not given into weakness or given into temptation.

I would really like to hear from folks who have quit. Let me know how you're doing.

Till next time.

Peace, Love, & SmokeFreedom,
