Smoke Stop

Day 3 - 10.10am

I arrived at work shortly before 8.45am and I've only just finished checking all my emails! I certainly haven't had time to think about cigarettes.

The 'dummy' for next week's paper will be arriving on my desk any minute and I'm ready to roll!

My inhalator is at my side. Let's hope I don't have to suck on it too much... I work in an open-plan office, with about 30 other people.

I experienced a craving for a cigarette when I woke up this morning, but it quickly passed. I used the inhalator before I drove to work.

For breakfast, I ate a bowl of cornflakes (semi-skimmed milk). For lunch, I've got roast chicken, stuffing and veg (in office fridge and ready to go in the microwave).

One of my colleagues at our Exeter office is in her sixth week of going smoke-free. It was quite encouraging to chat with her about our experiences this morning.

Dummy's arrived!
