5 Hours

My last cigarette was 5 hours ago and so far I'm still doing okay. I've gone longer than that while still smoking so shit probably won't hit the fan until 24 hours. I do feel anxious and a bit of light-headedness. I also notice that air smells crisp, fresh and clean so I'm using that for the focus of my concentration. The first craving just hit a few minutes ago and is starting to subside. I do have a smokeless electronic cigarette at the ready in the event that the OCD component to smoking becomes psychotic and unbearable.


I'm not making much sense, not because of the nicotine but because of my recent schedule change, lack of sleep and increased stress level. I'm sitting for my godchild, whom I love dearly, but at 3 months is horrible to keep as she is never satisfied unless I'm holding her and actively playing with her. Meanwhile, I'm trying to keep up with my studies with a little over a year left to school, all this information is critical. So I looked up some facts to uplift myself - some health benefits of quitting smoking.
