One week of no smoking

I was going to say 'no nicotine' but that's not true, since the Quit spray has nicotine, but still. No smoking for over a week now. Cravings going down (at least the physical craving, the habit of smoking I'll never stop missing, I suspect). I'm down to one or two sprays a day, and they're hardly because I'm climbing walls.

I think the biggest risk here is becoming complacent and deciding that having mastered it, I can quit whenever I like so may as well start up again. For example, I was re-reading Just For Fun (Linus Torvalds' autobiography) while I was waiting in the car for Ronwen to get her ballet shoes this morning, and I read a line about Torvalds' mom being a chainsmoker. Simply reading about someone being a smoker, was enough to give me the 'aw man!' feeling.

Anyway. Enough obsessing, one week down for Ronwen and I. Cool!
