The Quitting Smoking Challenge – Week 3 of Cutting Back
It's on to the third week of taking a new approach to quitting smoking. Weeks one and two were difficult, but manageable. How is week three going so far...?
And the 'Quitting Smoking Challenge' continues!
Three weeks ago, I decided that the method of 'cold turkey' for quitting smoking, just wasn't working for me. I couldn't stick to it for longer than a week. And every time I messed up, I went back to smoking like as if I never tried to quit. Three weeks ago, I decided to cut back and try to wean myself off cigarettes.
Weeks one and two of taking this new approach were a little difficult, but I was able to handle it. Week three? Well, so far I'm able to do it - but it is proving to be a little harder than I expected. I'm down to six cigarettes a day - three days into week three and I'm still making it work.
Three days into week three - I've made it this far, I can make it through the end. Next week I'll go down to five cigarettes per day, and so on and so forth. Hopefully, I'll be smoke free by December 1st!
Hopefully! :)
