Catfish - 2 days conquered

Okay, I made it through day 2 without smoking,smoking cessation, and it was both super easy at times, and at other times super hard. But guess what? Something amazing happened: after only 24 hours of being smoke free I wasn't expecting anything "really cool" to happen,stop smoking, but by golly, it DID!:I was worried about falling asleep last night - even though I FELT tired, a little dizzy, and foggy. And luckily, I fell asleep right away with no problem. Cool beans.I woke up to go the bathroom (cause I've been drinking water like a big dog) And I thought:"What a great night's sleep I had - I feel very well rested!"(I figured it was perhaps a few minutes before the alarm was to go off - many times I wake up a few minutes before the alarm)However I looked at the clock, and I had to do a double-take - turns out, I'd only been asleep for TWO HOURSWOW!I was really amazed - I seriously felt as if I'd slept for MANY hours, and it'd only been TWO!If this is how a non-smoker sleeps - I want more of THISSo I happily went back to bed (Yes, I DID want to go have a smoke, because yes, when I used to wake up at night for any reason I always had a smoke)And then when the alarm really did go off I felt GREAT. Super-rested! (But I also found myself struggling despite feeling so good. I'm used to going outside for a smoke as soon as I get up, after my first cup of coffee, after my shower, after my second cup of coffee, right before I leave for work, etc.)So, as my day 2 rolls to a close I actually look forward to another cool night of sleep like that again tonight!I am still refusing to smoke - no matter what I'm not going to smoke.I don't smoke.I'm a non-smoker.Know what's helping me personally?: I've always been an addict: alcohol, drugs, you name it, and these days..this might sound strange...but these last two days I've actually enjoyed "watching" my brain going through nicotine withdrawals! It IS an "altered state of consciousness" (and I happen to love those) and it's a 100% pure healthy and legal "altered state of consciousness" (I quit drugs and alcohol - this is all I get.)(and drinking a LOT of cold water!)I hope y'all are doing well and not smoking - it's not good for us - it'll kill us - and I'm very proud of each of you for caring enough about yourself to make the right choice and quit smoking.Catfish
