My Second Day

Hey everybody!
Now, I've got through my second day of quitting smoking for good.
I already noticed interesting things: while the subconscious urge to relapse is still persistent, I somehow seem to be less attracted by the smell of smoke; today, I had to wait at public transport stations, where a fair amount of people smoked. I used to not really mind, but today, I sort of instinctively kept away from them.
It was sort of cancelling a membership for a club that you're still somehow interested in, but that you feel uncomfortable when near it.
I also noticed something negative: I started coughing today. I heard that it's sometimes part of quitting smoking, but it also kept me from smoking in a way, since its stupid to smoke when you're coughing.
I will be back soon, and then we'll see how it develops. Everybody, still remember: this is still the first week, so it's in a way supposed to be hard! It's not wrong to have thoughts about relapsing, actually listening to them is wrong. Substitute your routines, i.e. instead of smoking at the bus station every morning, take your favourite music in some portable player and get over the wait that way.
If you're not into music, then get an audiobook. Or a portable radio.
