I'm A Glutton for Punishment

I quit smoking yesterday. I had my last cigarette around midnight on 4/2. I was going to wait till I hit my 1 year sobriety date but I'm just so fed up with smoking I didn't want to wait any longer. For F and I, we spend between $250 and $300 a month. That's outrageous! So, it's time to let go of my last addiction.

I'm glad I have the tools from AA to use during this time. If I just ride the waves, they'll pass. Deep breathing helps too. Tootsie pops are helpful. I gave myself the weekend to eat what I want as much as I want but that's over tonight. I did pack a bag of carrots and I'll probably journal instead of idle time to be thinking of cigarettes. I'll keep ya'll informed.

On another note, tomorrow is my 8th month of sobriety. :)
