We Quit Cigarettes

[ShannonR]

Three days without smoking.
No magic pills gum or anything...and nobody died. Amazing!

Amazing is right, you definitely are doing an amazing job!! This only gets easier as time passes, and (snacking problems aside, ahem) it's totally worth it.

I was surprised today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Yesterday was way worse. I'm hoping that means the worst part is over now.
I will be so happy when I'm no longer thinking about it every 5 freaking minutes.

I still think about it pretty frequently, but it isn't a huge overwhelming urge anymore. Unless really stressful things are happening, then I either gotta sit on my hands or go to a friend's place and fall off the wagon.
Not having anything smoking related at my home was the biggest contributer to my quitting. It's too much freaking effort to go elsewhere just for a quick drag!

Yup. I definitely wanna put something else in my mouth since I cant smoke.
I'm keeping my snacks limited to fruits and veggies.
And nuts
And a small piece of dark chocolate occasionally for a little reward.

I googled it, but never got a good answer.

White crowned sparrow?

So I searched the web for pics of this breed you ask..... Of all the pics, only one has tail feathers "close" to long enough... Or what "I recall as long enough" as the two who have been very loud when I'd been near for the last 2 weeks seemed to have tail feathers much longer. Almost similar -in my head- to long tail swallows. Go figure. We shall see in the coming days as I try for shots of her standing near the next.
