Still going strong . . . how are you doing physically? Notice any good or bad changes?
I always thought the physical addiction was much stronger than the mental. Maybe 80%-20%
Well, its NOT! By now i should be free of nicotine in my system, breaking the mental part of it is way tougher than i would have ever thought.
I never realized the triggers that go along with smoking, and lighting up without even thinking about it.
I must admit i have been a little "off" on my easy going personality.
I was just a bit "testy" today, a guy i work with smarted off and could have easily got his teeth knocked out. LOL, 10 years ago there is no doubt about it.
Part may have been its day 8 of my shift. 8 12hr. days.
But, i thought of my wife and boys and how i need to support them, so i bit my tongue and walked out.
Also i am 6'4 350 and just a pissed off stare and a few choice words gets the job done.
I would say thats a bad change, on the good side, in my job i gauge oil tanks they are 20' tall and i am usually winded after running up and down.
I have noticed already not being winded and no big deal to gauge a bunch in a row.
Its all good, i am now off for 6 days.
I have no doubt that i have quit for good!
