The simplest way is to listen to that little voice and buy a pack. Especially now, the excuse is boredom.
Well I will not do it no matter how bored I am. That is just the addiction talking. Soon, 3 months comes and go and I will be motivated again.
In the mean time I continue with the gum. As long as I don't smoke I will be fine.
DELAY is the best strategy. Of course just chew the Nicorette gum. I need to hang on until end of October.
This dopamine depletion can be solved with running eventually. One battle at the time. Shake cigarette off first
I have a mission, I want to run the 2020 Marathon.
This year I got to be able to run 5 km by October and by December I got to do 10 km. By June 2019 I should be able to run 21 km.
That should be my short term goals. I am such a mess with cigarettes that I reduced to a mere couch potato.
It's a matter of stabilizing the dopamine again. If that is what it takes, then I am game.
It doesn't take long to get back in shape. Within 3 months I should be able to do it.
But first, I should not smoke. I chew the gum if I have to but NEVER take another puff.
I didn't realize how serious was my cigarettes addiction. Gosh, my life was controlled by these poisons.
----------------------
That's it. This 3 weeks were the withdrawal symptoms phase. I am STILL on track to be who I want to be; a runner who writes. All the[r]e down cycles are temporary setbacks. Expect this dip to last for 3 months. Keep on chewing the gum, eat ala Atkins and EXERCISING morning and afternoon. You are already on the right track.
