Day 3: You may go through the worst period of withdrawal today but be strong and remind yourself that once this is over, symptoms gradually decrease and fade away. In three weeks time physical withdrawal should be a thing of the past. Keep busy, keep focussed.
An unfortunate side effect of the non smoking phenomenen is that my usual talkativeness seems to have spiralled out of control. Last night i met a friend in the pub and was so incredibly animated and manic that he barely got a word in during the first 20 minutes. My hands seemed to have taken on a life of their own. I’m a big gesturer anyway but at the moment my hands are literally flying out in front of me. I’m very surprised they didn’t swoop out and knock over my wine glass.
I think not smoking has given me more energy than usual, but I’m not sure this is a good thing, given that I rarely sit still as it is. On the up side, imagine what I can achieve with all that spare energy… Out on my bike at lunchtime, there’s no way I’ll be able to sit here for the rest of the afternoon otherwise.
