So day 3 I noticed my sense of smell is coming back, I can smell the flowers in our tiny little garden area from the 3rd or 4th floor, I also went to Lotus today and noticed that most of Pattaya stinks of shit, how the fuk can non smokers live here when the place stinks of shit just about every where?
Smoking trigger moments, hmmmm, just about everything you do will make you think it is time for a cigarette, even down to right clicking on a movie and clicking play with vlc player, your gonna watch a movie, time to light up a cigarette.
First 2 days I was thinking of cigarettes maybe every 5 minutes, got to control those trigger moments and get rid of them, now maybe down to every 15 minutes, although to be honest I don't really want a cigarette, it's just the thought pops into your head it is time for a cigarette every time you hit a trigger moment.
Another day or so and it will be time for my lungs to start trying to clear themselves, I should imagine thats going to be pretty bad, although I am ready and waiting for it with a few bottles of medicene such as mucous thinners and stuff like that.
So, hopefully this is the end of my smoking career, pretty sure it is, going to have to avoid bars and beer for a while though as that trigger will be too strong I think.
