Day 9

...and my first journal entry.
My first week went well.  I found it wasn't the nicotine I was craving as much as it was/is the act of smoking itself.  Thanks to the suggestions of friends and family, I have armed myself with straws and licorice root to help me through.
I am trying to train myself to take the dog for a walk everytime the cravings get strong...not quite there yet.  Oh, did I mention I am on Weight Watchers too? Over-achiever much? Thanks to baby carrots and hummus, I did lose this week, which made my week that much sweeter.
I thank each of you who has reached out to me. Your support really does make the difference.
