Two weeks

...has now passed without a single cigarette. I haven't even get any urges. I have saved about 70€ money. Now that I think of that maybe the only reason why I haven't smoked in past two weeks. To save some money. I have calculated this previously too, but it hasn't been that much of problem, now I had few months that I made fewer hours of work per week, as First two months of the year are usually quite quiet at our kind of retail business. And I have been a bit struggling to get by with those pay checks, but I managed. Now there is this Corona virus thing also hanging on and smokers are in risk category with that virus, so one more reason not to smoke.

Break from smoking?

Well, it has been now five days without a single smoke. I don't crave for it, not at all. I have always known that for me it's just a distraction, social event, pause etc. So, how long I am going to go without smoking? Don't really know, since I am not giving myself any ultimatum about quitting completely but rather giving an option not to smoke, at all. If I someday want a smoke, then I smoke and I don't feel guilty about it.

Now that this Corona / Covid-19 virus has put everyone in a lockdown and washing their hands like there is no tomorrow, it is a good break from smoking since it elevates a person in to risk group to get sick with that virus.

It's refreshing to have a "reason" not to smoke. For me it's not that much a reason but an observation for some of my friend circle.

Happy Easter.
