So, Ash. How are you holding up?

Pretty good. It's been about 3 and a half days, I've only asked for a drag off of someone's smoke once (they refused, since they knew I'd quit), and there's only been one time when it's "gotten" to me (in my Documentary Editing class, where my professor is the most pretentious douche on the planet. Seriously, he's the only instructor at my school who has ever insisted on us calling him "Professor." And he looks like V. I. Lenin, goatee, bald head, and everything. Sorry, I'm ranting now...)

I've found it helps not to think of it as "I'm trying to quit," or "I'm quitting," the way I always used to when I tried to quit. No, this time, I have quit. I'm a non-smoker. I don't smoke. Not "I quit smoking a week ago," or "I used to smoke, but I'm quitting," or anything like that. Making it sound more "final" really helps a lot.
