Stopping Smoking

I stopped smoking about two weeks ago though I must admit I do not feel great. My back is sore my chest is sore and my side is sore, probably a chest infection and totally unrelated to my new non smoking me but I can't help relating all these aches and pains to my lack of my daily dose of nicotine.

I thought when I stopped smoking I would feel healthy (run up and down streets healthy)! Happy smug and full of self righteousness. Instead I feel unhealthier, uncertain! unhappy (Only because I am not feeling smug or self righteous)!

I don't want to be a smoker but miss those certain routines that spiked through my day....Coffee at the computer....or sitting outside the coffee shop having a cigarette.

Being a smoker is an antisocial behavior in today's health conscious world, and I like most smokers admit to preferring to have to step outside for my smoke(most of the time) restaurants and public places are much more pleasant without stale smoke drifting in the air. However, this does not stop us enjoying our cigs should it be five, ten or forty a day.

As I said I stopped smoking about two weeks ago but I still think of myself as a smoker and feel bereft and in a state of grief at the thought of never having a cigarette. I am not getting many cravings though I think my problems with giving up cigarettes are psychological affecting my moods. Hope that sorts itself out soon.
