Day 6!!
Well everyone - day 6 is here!
As well as being alcohol free?
I'M 52 HOURS CIGARETTE FREE
Had to take a Diazepam earlier though, as I felt quite anxious. GP prescribed it for this reason.
Didn't sleep too well last night
Only 4-5 hours sleep. Very busy day. And a very dry cough!
Hope you're all well

Well done, keep it up. The first couple of weeks are very hard but it does get better.
I found booze a lot harder to give up than smokes. In fact I quit smoking 10 years before the drink, it was easy in comparison. I was planning on doing both but could not wrestle the alcohol till I finally surrendered to my alcoholism two years ago and started doing the steps.

Day 7 Update!!
Had a better night's sleep last night - thanks Diazepam!
Still smoke free and alcohol free. I definitely think the alcohol was much harder to give up. But I don't miss either "things". All they were going to do to me was send me to an early grave.
Any time I find myself "missing" alcohol, I read about Wet Brain. And if I find myself thinking about a cigarette, I just read about COPD. Pretty extreme, I know, but it DOES work!!
Hope you're all well on this freezingly cold day!

I must add, I can't believe how well I'm doing without the cigarettes. It's nearly 72 hours since my last one.
Anyone who is reading this and still smokes, try the eCigs/Vaping! They're fantastic!!
