Day 2 - I'm a non Smoker


84 Kilos

A good nights sleep and when I woke up I was not searching for a cigarette first thing, good sign. Today I am hit the gym and pool. I want to see how long I can go this morning before I feel the need for a patch or gum.

I weighed in this morning and I am up to 84.1 Kilos still inside my normal range.

In the morning I went with a friend to visit some friends in the countryside with a pool, all three smokers. A good test for me. No gum no patch. After a quick lunch at home I went to Lake of Garda for more swimming. One friend who is a smoker laughed when I told him I had quit. "Talk to me in a year, you are just trying to quit" My answer, No Zeno, "Now I am a non smoker, If I can last a day, I can last 2 days and it gets easier as each day passes." Of course I know that it will be challenging but by making such a belligerent stand it will be even more difficult to loose face and take up the habit again.

I took a stroll through town after dinner and I admit I was really thinking about having a smoke but I treated my self to an ice cream cone instead.

Ex smoking friends and non smokers are encouraging. Smokers seem threatened. Very strange.

Lets see what tomorrow brings.
