Day 3 - WOW!

I would have never guessed. Its been between 48 and 72 hours without smoking and I feel so much better than I felt while I was smoking. I breath much better, it almost seems like I have a brand new sense of taste and smell -- hell, I can evewn exercise moderately without noticing that asphixia I had three days back! Actually, I wouldn't even have thought of doing exercise regularly while I was smoking so much, but now I've started doing a gentle routine.

On another note, the crisis or urge for a cigarrette are becoming less frequent and also different. Until now, urges were much more common and I also clearly identified the urge with the need for a cigarrette. Today, however, my mind first thinks about a cigarrette, but immediately after it associates the crisis with the need to eat, or perhaps to drink water. In other terms, my mind is confused about what it needs when a crisis comes, and that's good! At least there isn't always that clear fixation for a smoke. Although it still persists, I won't lie.

Even as I write this and use the computer - something that yesterday or th4e day before would have made me think a great deal about having a smoke - I don't feel the need for one in such a dramatic way anymore.

Conclusion: a great, great mental and physical improvement from yesterday. Things are going well but I cannot relax or think I've won yet; still much way to go!
